ALWAYS buy a used bike NEVER new. Just make sure you know how to fit the bike.

There is a rockhopper on craigslist for a bearable price at the same size as my old beauty.

What did you have, what size do you think you need, and what price?

I had a Rockhopper, heavy but durable bike that lasted me a long time. Size wise I am between a 19" and 20". Price, I would like to stay under $250 as I am not able to ride as serious as I used to, don't have the cash to really invest in something serious, and just need something quality and durable like my old Specialized.

Suspension or no? Preferred type of shifters?

Maybe front forks, but not necessarily needed. Shimano :)

Your cousin or what not? You know we can easily take care of that.

That would be epic, banning his cousin lol.

Hear both sides first not just the deyoungs.

Didn't you share yours with me in PM? If so, I would have guessed you were his nephew.

Is it the top tube or standover that puts you on the 20"?

I'm gonna recommend some retro steel if you were into your RockHopper. For that dough we should be able to shed weight too.

You ever fixed anything on a bike? Or have a friend who does? Mostly wondering as having that person peak at the bike with you wouldn't hurt...unless of course its you then it really won't hurt. Although its pretty easy and your biggest concern are the wheels & shifting which are easy to test. EVERY spoke should sound the same when you pluck them. Amusingly that is more important than them being straight. And when old shifters wear you have to get newer ones, lol. Shimano's are disposable, not rebuildable but luckily nearly universal so there are tons of swaps.

(While having a girls night with friends and my mom)

Me: Let's get some tequila!

Mom: Oh no, Mother does not drink the Jose…

My friend: Why not?

Mom: Because tequila makes me hornier than a half-jacked mountain lion, and far less intelligent.

Good question, I think it was top tube. I cannot believe how far I have fallen out of the know on mountain bikes with how much I used to ride.

I used to work on my old specialized.
