    Mountain Bikers "BEWARE"!!!

    Hi all...especially the mtb'ers out there. I'm just giving you all fair warning that I purchased a Giant Mountain Bike today and will be hitting the trails soon. This is no joke!!!!!! For those of you who have seen my picture...Lance Armstrong I'm not!!! In fact, I make Baby Huey look small...
    Anyway...now that the fun is over...Truly, I found an amazing buy at a garage sale today, at least I think it was. It was a Giant Acapulco Mountain Bike for $5.00. Everything works smoothly on it. Very mild rust and only in a few spots. Wheels are basically straight and no cracks. Tires/tubes still hold air. Seat is in perfect shape w/no tears. The tires look almost new, except they are showing signs of heat cracking/drying, but will do for a short while.
    All in all, it looks better than any other bike I've seen except a new one that people want much more for and those are Kmart and Walmart bikes, and I got a Giant!!!
    Anyway, here is the pic below. I will put some more on later of the gears and stuff and maybe you mtb'ers can let me know if I got as good a deal as I think.
    And yes...I've already ridden it!!!!!!!
