There is a bike shop called Pedal a couple blocks from me, so I decided to stop in and check it out yesterday. Awesome place, spoke with a gentleman by the name of Bill who was working, and he was really helpful, gave me a couple maps of bike trails and such. He did however re afirm what SSChameleon said on components, leaving me not so optimistic on my project GT. I guess we'll see how that goes, if I run out of room it will likely go, but otherwise I may hang onto it and tinker as I go, it's a really cool bike, and something about getting it for a case of beer makes me want to bring it to life lol.
06 Trek 3900 picked up for $40, everything works great, just had to replace the seat.
99 GT Rebound picked up for a case of Modelo. Something wrong with the shifting on it, and there is some play in the stem of the fork, bearings possibly.
I just want to get out and ride!

Pedal in Littleton is a good shop and Bill will take care of you. I used to race on their team. They should have all the goodies there you need.
Golden Bike Shop is the same with me. What are you doing in the store when you could be riding?
Thanks for bumping this thread with the new info Hurley. I'm really needing a bike, but it is low on my priority. Something awesome for under $100 is available immediately.

I don't think I've been on my mountain bike in about fifteen years. Lol.
It's an older Mongoose Hilltopper with Answer front forks.
Lots of Craigslist finds available. Name brand bikes for cheap. Unless I'm going all out on a full suspension bike, I'll likely never buy new in the future, as I'm finding even brand name bikes dramatically lose value. Plenty of Craigslist sellers still think their ten year old bike is worth close to what they paid new tho.
