I gave a lot of thought to a cross bike, but I already have my pony, and so I've been told a lot of cross races are ridden on MTBs. I want something I can eventually convert for perhaps doing the Try a Tri in Bend. I'm definately buying at Pine Mountain, for my discount, and for the fact that those guys have been awesome to me. The owner probably spent a good hour trying different sides bikes with me. I went to Century, off Galveston, right? They weren't exactly the kind of place that made me stoked to buy a bike. The guy I worked with was cold, acted like I was beneath him and his bikes. Made it really hard to get all excited about spending hundreds more than I planned. Almost made me wanna quit shopping. If I don't buy from Pine Mountain, I'll probably go to Hutch's. Tara there was such a doll to me, I feel kind obligated.
