How's the Glock? Is it being cooperative?

Yep so far so good.

I believe they have worked all the kinks out of them by now, but I am an optimistic fellow.

I have a DB mountain bike that I have had for 6 years. It needs almost everything but a frame do to tons of hard riding. I took it to a local shop to see about rebuilding it and just the cost of getting it trail safe again is about $250+ bucks. So now I gotta start shopping for a new ride.

I am looking in the 600 to 850 dollar range and man it seems recently that money is flying out of my wallet

I have been riding a Cannondale Enforement for about 4 years and it is still holding up well. It is my daily commuter (when the weather is tolerable). I would guess it has much more than a thousand miles on it.

I was looking at upgrading to a newer version of the Enforcement, but it seems they no longer are making them in the USA. I like the fact mines says "Handmade in the USA" in black with an American flag on it. Might upgrade some parts this season though.

Yeah not many brands are USA made anymore

I am looking at GT, kona, trek, Cannondale, and a few others

One of the Marines in my shop just bought a very nice Trek at a pawn shop. We looked at it online and it was going for about a grand. He got his for $150 and it has very little wear. He brought it to a local bike shop (there are tons here since just about everyone rides around here) and had them look it over and give it a tune up for $40. They replaced a small part and said it is as good as new. $190 for a good bike makes checking the pawn shops a worth while alternative.

Good evening yard, JJ there is nothing out on the gen 4 guide rods yet at least the two dealers that checked for me said that none of their suppliers had any available .

Figures, thanks for the info though, much appreciated.

You looking for parts?
