I hear you. PMed you back. Thx!there is lots of ignorance at our shops this time of year. we are just starting to hire the seasonal *****. and well..... you can see they all need training and experience. all shops have there *****. just talk to as many people as you can at the shop you go to too find the right guy/gal. I have found that to be true no mater where you go, also some people have bad days too.
I had the same thought about those rims. I wish they come in reg black or silver. I just liked white frame and reg 3900 do no come in white. Same with brakes - I won't ride it in wet conditions anyway. They just happen to come on SE. anyway..I wouldent get the SE because if you ever busted a rim you would be ******. one blue rim and then one black rim... not so good. also I am going to say no on the discs. at that price point they are crap brakes. they will not be as high performance as you would think. if you are plaining on riding in the rain alot then they might be usefull to you. outside of that I would much rather own V-brakes.

That being said it looks like reg 3900 with V-brakes would work just fine for me. I started to look into what can I get for the money and it looks like I need to fill my knowledge base before going forward and asking stupid questions.
All this bike talk reminds me that I have to bring my bike in. I have a mountain track 830 from like 1998!! I always took great care of her up until this last winter. The wife new bike took it's place in storage and my baby was put on the deck!!! I can only imagine how rusty it's gotten. any recomendations??
dude I was teared apart today... got new car and did shitload of stuff too.. ohh welldude, lets just meet up and we can chit chat about s*** and what not. I can get you a good price on new stuff and even better on some used stuff I have or my freind has. just let me know when works best for you.
