Thanks to everyone that gave me input on what mountain bikes to check out. I looked at 8 different shops, various models, and found a swinging deal on the following bike. So far, I like it.
2005 Specialized Enduro Expert  PS: Yes, for an extra $32.50, it even came with an MRP.

Very nice!
The S-Works Epic is at the very top of a very short list for my next mountain bike. Now get out and get some miles on that thing

Thanks...and yeah, I came close to getting an S-Works, but $4 -$5k was just too steep. I bought a bike for my Daughter at the same time, so I dented the bank account enough for a while. Been on a few rides already...and as soon as the torrential rains stop, I'll be out peddling hard! |

Nice Santa Cruz JFP! What model is that? What's the scoop on those 2.6" tires? The tires that came on my bike suck... |

Nice rides there; no pics of my new one yet.
Just upgraded the 14 y/o hardtail to an '05 FSR comp 100 disc. After 8 years off a bike, it's like another whole world. Hydraulic disc brakes, lockout F/R suspension, actually fits my body, yadda yadda - love it even if it's nowhere near those $4k bikes. It's still a lot of bike for $1500 out the door! Now time to learn riding again - it's different being taller, (much) heavier, and (much more) out of shape. |

It's a Brake Therapy, with a Hadley rear hub, with a chromoly thru bolt axle. It makes a ton of difference, high speed lockup chatter from braking bumps is GONE. Rear wheel is just glued to the ground under braking conditions. |
