Nice. $800 is a great buy-in for a freeride bike. That frame is solid. The upgrades are nice too (solid chainguard/guide). That's a pretty perfect bike for just about anywhere. Good get.Quote:

Yeah, can't wait. I have my very last set of exams EVER in two weeks, so I'll be at Lynn quite often after that.Quote:

Aarrrrgh ...
I just finished a two week long used bike search, and my advice echo's alot of what others said,: ebay and forums.
I also found that Craigslist (especially Denver) has tons of used bikes, just check in the morning and evening. Demo bikes will be coming up for sale soon, too.
IMHO, I wouldn't go with a retail-priced bike for $1000 (retail's for suckers, anyway). The difference between a $1000 and a $1700 bike is huge. So if you find something used or a demo, you can get way more bike for your buck.
Oh, come to think of it, I know a guy who is selling a used Titus Switchblade for $1100, shipped. There is a pretty good dent in the downtube, but the rest of the bike (including the build) is top-notch. I'll ask him if he's still selling it, I'll be talking to him tomorrow.
Good luck, and stay on it with the money in hand, so when a good deal does come up, you can jump on it. The good deals are out there, you just have to be Obsessive/Compulsive about it.

Not as squish as the Enduro, but a nice bike.
