Well, I ended up buying an '02 Gary Fisher Wahoo for $289. I understand this is a very "entry-level"
model, but since I'm brand new to the sport I figured it would last me a couple years (hopefully)
and I could upgrade at that point. I haven't been on a bike since I was 10, so I imagine the
learning curve's going to be a little looongg.... But I bought a couple of trail books and am going
to take my first ride this weekend.
Thanks for everyone's help!
