My Specialized

Cost me a fortune! I bought this because I figured it was my third year of riding and I needed to see if there was a great difference between a road and moutain bike other than weight. There is! This thing will cut through wind with no problem. My speed increased, my agressive riding increased, and my fatigue decreased. I have passed up people in cars because they were going to slow for me (which means they are going too slow, because I am not that fast).

My Giant

I bought this one part by part either through bike shops or on ebay. This is the first mountain bike that I actually took out and did some rides at Cedar Hill State Park. That kicked my butt. I used it to ride on rallies too, before I bought the Specialized. I changed out the knobby tires for some slicks. It is a great bike. I wish I had more time to get it off the road.
