>>1495218Well I got the bike. Swapped out the Brooks with my crappy used seat, but he gave me the bike, 175 crankset and both wheelsets for $200. I managed to pop the chain off a couple times but that's almost definitely my fault. Will take some getting used to compared to Rockhopper. Now I'll have to read the park tool, sheldon brown guides to begin to understand the basics. Thanks for the help everyone, see you in /bqg/
