OK, So I have been thinking about cutting back on BMX racing due to a back Injury (I go in to my Back doc tomorrow for possable epidural steriod shot in my back ) And Was thinking about trying to Race Mountain bikes, I was looking to purchase one that I wouldn't need to worry about upgrading stuff in the future and our Local Bike store Has a 2008 Trek 8000 "Mens" In my size that they would sell for $1,100 as its a small and last years model (Retailed $1,800) they said they are having a hard time selling it.
I also sat on a WSD trek and I really liked the fit they said they would change the stem and whatnot to get it to fit more WSD.
Is this bike any good? any downfalls of it? Is this a good price?


Thanks for any input, Tina
