If it really has 300km. I doubt you will find a better bike for $800. The only downside is it is a 26er so hard to on sell manufacturers have made 26ers unpopular. I like 26ers.
It is only a good buy if it is the correct size.

I got the Trek 8000. Also a pair of MTB shoes and clipless pedals, so far I am loving it. I like clipless but I think I will get some flats for singletrack etc.

Stick with the clipless for the singletrack, it's faster for the hills and makes jumping and bunnyhoping easier.countryteen wrote:I got the Trek 8000. Also a pair of MTB shoes and clipless pedals, so far I am loving it. I like clipless but I think I will get some flats for singletrack etc.

I know but I guess I am kind of cautious about using them, because I am very new to the sport.singlespeedscott wrote: Stick with the clipless for the singletrack, it's faster for the hills and makes jumping and bunnyhoping easier.

You'll only get used to them by using them.
