I bought a Trek 3700 mountain bike today. Will be taking it to the trails in about an hour or so.

I think it was a fair price. Right at 300 after tax and registration. Took it out today and had a blast. Biked with some people from the BRAMBA (Baton Rouge Area Mountain Biking Association) including the president. One girl in their group.... wow, she was good. She could jump almost everything on the trails, and there were a lot of trees down from the past storms. It was pretty sloppy in some parts and hard to get traction to get up the hills. I only wiped out once, but it was a quality spill. Over the handlebars, skidding several yards, and the bike coming back over me. Overall, a great day and a sound investment.

BRPD requires that all retailers charge $6.00 for sales within the city. They put a sticker on your bike with registration number for identification. Nice to know Big Brother is watching my bike.
