that fuel is sweet. I really like how the disc brakes allow you to "blackout" your rims! kinda like on the trucks! I think the all black look is sweet on bikes!
I am so addicted to riding, I go like 3 times a week here to our local singletrack which is a little under 8 mi. Today I endo'd after hitting some stupid roots.

Yep. I used to ride at least 4 days a week. Then school and work got in the way. I just got back into riding after about a 2-3 year hiatus, and it just kicks ass. I'm on my way out the door right now to go do some riding on my new bike (it's a '03, but I bought it brand new).

i tell you a good mountain biker is really impressive to watch....climbing hills to steep to walk have the time, and pogo'ing from rock to rock where you cant ride the bike normally.....way past my skill and atheletic ability...
I have an older schwinn...its not that great but when it was new it was pretty awesome, bought it for around 999 bucks and it was worth every penny....

I think this Trek 8500 looks nice all blacked out:
When I was shopping it was between this and my Fuel 90 but I decided to go with FS instead of hardtail.

I have a Ironhorse Maverick as of right now and compared to some of the bikes I've seen on this thread it might as well have training wheels! :cry:
I have been riding since '99 off and on (mailny trail and street) and the bike was a night and day differance from the Huffy I had. I want to upgrade it with suspension forks, but the headset is only 1", and Ironhorse advised me to get a new bike.
Sooooo I'm getting a new bike here in the near future. I'm loving the Trek's, but here in town the places that sell them try to act like a stealership when you ask for some simeple service (cable adjustment, etc.) . I also like Haro's V series and the local bike shop has a V3 that I might take advantage of. I used to like cannondale...key work used to...
YOU GUYS FRIGGIN ROCK!!! Just try not to make the novicie riders look all crappy when you fly past....please.

man I rode again today, after a downpour, and it was sooo fun! super slick though. I was caked in mud afterwards! only downside to riding after a rain is wrecking on tight turns that you take too fast.

The place that I got my bike from sells the Trek's at about 20% off of list price, sometimes more depending on the time of year. He also gives you 20% anything that you buy in the store the same day (not icluding another bike I would guess) and then 10% anything from then on out. Then you get free lifetime adjustments and minor tune-ups. Not too bad. They're not always top notch to deal with but usually are.

Good deal. Haro makes good frames, so if you really get into riding, you could easily upgrade the parts on that frame if you didn't want to buy a whole new bike.

I don't know of much in PA, but if you're willing to come over the border I can probably help you out. I'm not familiar with Tioga county, so I'm guessing you are a bit west of me.

Try looking on these two sites for trails:
SingleTracks
MTBReview
The second one has 269 trails listed for PA alone.
