There're at least 4 bike stores within walking distance of our house, yes. ;o) Thanks for all the recomendations. I really like the kona Dew Deluxe, but price... yeah. I like the Giants too, the Yukon looks like plenty of bike for me. It's a city bike after all, it'll get less abuse than it would on trails, so entry-level is probably fine. the components are all good enough to last me awhile if I went with that?
I used to be really smooth with curb jumps, but it's been quite a while now, so a new bike would get some abuse before I got used to it again.
When I get my next paycheck, I'll hit some of the local shops and see what they have for me. Can you give me a quick cheatlist of what to look for? good/bad component sets, frame material, etc. I used to be a bike geek, but that was 10 years ago. heh.
