Mountain Bike

Yea... There are some great deals on Craigslist. But they go fast, you have to be active hunting them and know what you are looking at.

I'm selling a Schwinn Homegrown All Mountain XT if you're interested....

Call great divide in pueblo they have acces to a bunch of last year model trek 6000 series i picked my son up one a month or so ago, they are $1000.00+ bikes they sold me his for 725.00 out the door tax and all, and it only took them 3 days to get it. It's a little more than you want to spend but they have some great parts on them its well worth 700 bucks.

Craigslist.

There are tons of bike weenies in this state and a goodly number of them have to swap up to the latest/greatest every six months or their spandex automatically gets in a knot. A neighbor of mine has scored some great bikes (road and mountain) on Craigslist for a fraction of what they retailed for 12-24 months earlier.

Get a 2012 GT Avalanche 3.0 on clearance from Performance Bicycle. A little heavy but one of the best low money bikes you can get.

The GT Avalanche series is a solid lower end bike. Or check Craigslist if you know what to look for on used bikes.

Fuji mountain bikes are right in that range, I have a Nevada 4.0 and its great.

For that price range I would go with a close out like this Raleigh from Bicycle Village. If they have your size. Craigs List can be a real crap shoot unless you are an expert on bikes, used bikes etc. Main thing
in this price range is the marginal front shock, a cheap Suntour. This 2011 is a great value for the $$. Plus they transfer bikes to other stores more in your neighborhood. The 2014 bikes start hitting the stores
now in August/September and many shops will dump their 2013 models. Buying new gets you a warranty and some free tune ups also. Worth it in long run.

Keep us posted!

I talked to him and he said he may keep it. I will be over there Tuesday and talk to him a little further. (he was out of town this weekend). I will place emphasis on the fact he hasn't put his ass on the bike in at least 3 yrs....
