Oooo, congratulations! What brand is it? Is it a mountain bike or is it a road bike? You should post a picture of it for us!

I think it's a road bike, that's what I bought it for, but it's got nice big tired and good brakes and stuff. Rosie says it can do trails. She's getting her oil changed but I'm sure she'll give details.

I'll let her get a picture of it, and my sorry carcass on it, later. Right now I'm gonna take it for a spin. Figured out how to get the front tire back on, couldn't quite master the bike lock, and the helmet works, I'll worry about the lock later. I just won't stop anywhere this time.

It's a Raleigh SC30...I dunno that much about Raleighs since I've never lived anywhere that carried 'em. It's kind of a casual mountain bike...not quite a hybrid, but set so you sit pretty upright. And it has nifty tires mounted...smooth in the middle, but with knobbies on the side so it COULD handle at least packed dirt type trails. Not a bad bike.

*sigh* And there was a beat up old Mongoose Alta in my size with Rapid Fire shifters (had those and loved 'em) and other decent components from what I can tell...I've been out of the loop wayyyy too long! Looked like someone had upgraded some things...didn't all match.

I wants it, precious! Apparently they allow rental of used bikes, and the rental applies to the cost. I might. I just might.
