I'm so impulsive it scares me. I've been wanting a 29er ever since I found this forum. I have a perfectly sufficient Haro $300 mountain bike that serves it purpose just fine. I go shopping to buy my GF a pillow (don't ask) and drive past a local bike shop. I say to my buddy "what the [censored], lets stop and take a look".
I ask the nice guy a the counter that I'm looking for a rigid 29er, 8 speed preferably.
He walks me around to the only REDLINE D440 in the store.
Wait, it gets better!
It is the 2010 model and %25 off.
Not sure why I even test rode it, I was buying it regardless.
$480+ tax.
It is such a solid feeling bike. It just mows over bumps and coast forever. So dam excited. The color is awesome and I really dig the metallic pin striping.
