Ugh... I was all set to buy the Camber but got cold feet on dropping $1850. So I started looking at a bunch of bikes. I than thought how about just going $880 on a Rockhopper but.... Since I sold my 11sec 2010 mustang gt my wife said buy whatever bike I want . She just wants me to buy a bike that I will really enjoy and ride a lot. I made the decision to buy her the Jett as the dealer knock $150 off plus she will ride it for many years.
So back to me , I have narrowed it down to a Crave for $1400 or a Camber for $1850. Those are the listed costs but I am sure the guy will give me a better cost on a package with the Jett.
The Crave is $450 cheaper and has better components but the Camber is a full suspension bike and has quality components. I have ridden both bike around the parking lots and both are very nice but it is hard to get a true feeling in a lot.
Here is a question also. If you know me I have back issues that I am working hard to overcome and strengthen my core. Is the full suspension bike that much of a better ride? Is it worth $450 plus the step down a little in components ?
.......mmmm than today I was thrown a curve when another dealer gave me a sales pitch on a Surly ECR. It is a brand new design that looks to be a great riding bike that is designed to put the rider in a upright position that looks to be a lot better on the lower back. Looks very comfortable etc.$2150.. A cool looking machine.
Any advice or comments ( constructive you dicks..lol) would be greatly appreciated as Friday is go pick out the bike day.
