Excellent Mountain Bike

Wed, 2 May 2001 17:30:24 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author wahoo95 - I bought this bike on clearance in late 2000, so I got it for 300 bucks. That alone made it a great deal, considering the high quality.

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author wahoo95 - I bought this car in Feb. 1998. It was my first dependable (I hoped) used car. It has not let me down. It runs as well now as it did when I first got it, and I've put over 40,000 miles on it (it had 41,000 when i got it, so now it's over 82,000 miles)...
