Thank you 4300. Hear my new Anthem!

Well, with the Moab trip coming up, I had been planning on taking my loyal Trek 4300 on the epic ride. It's been a great bike for me, and really did deserve to say it's ridden in Utah. However, things have changed. My 4300 will be staying home. The Professor and I went out today and picked up my new Giant Anthem 2.



Thanks to the Omaha Trek Store for calling around, and High Gear for the great deal!

And my trusty Candies still match the color scheme. I'm all set.

New Specialized Rockhopper 29er

I think this bike is going to be popular. $700 for a geared hardtail 29er. Curved seattube for shorter chainstays and front derailleur/tire clearance. Can easily be converted to singlespeed using the sliding dropouts. If I was shopping for a new bike right now, this thing would have just shot up to the top of my list.
