Hey i joined a while back and was asking about a few bikes but i had decided to go with a new bike upon visiting my lbs (rochester bike shop, rochester michigan) i went in with a price point in mind knowing i wanted a 29er that was worth if getting upgrades later when things need it so i found the trek xcaliber 6 and picked that over the xcaliber 7 because all i knoticed was the crank and fork was different which wasnt a big deal to me as both i want to upgrade when they need it so the xcal 6 it was
Im a rather large guy im 6'4" roughly and pretty lengthy so i opted for the 21.5" xl frame i order it around christmas time and had gotten 15% off for their christmas deal! So total with taxes and all i paid about 700 even
Well i went and picked it up today and i must say its an awesome bike i havent rode it much because there is plenty of snow and i had work this afternoon but on my dayoff tomorrow im getting out there forsure
I came from the bmx world so a bike isnt new to me just mtb is new and what a difference in ride quality vs a bmx bike lol i expected it to be better but this 29er just soaks up bumps potholes everything like if i was riding over a pebble its awesome it rolls so smooth and fast too i was very impressed so i got it inside and threw on a 700c tire and got it on the trainer and went to town on this bike i was so excited like a kid in a candy store i couldnt stop checking it out like it was some hot chick
But im gonna try and post some pictures of it along with the girlfriends bike trek 3500
