Over the past few weeks I bought a low end high end (that's what I call it) Felt mountain bike. It retailed at about $700. I bought it used for $200 and it was in like new condition.

I wanted to put some better parts on it so I upgraded the following components: installed hydraulic disc brakes, upgraded suspension fork, pedals, headset, grips, tires, chainring, rear cassette and crankset.

I fully tuned it and also converted it from a 3 x 8 drivetrain to a 1 x 8 drivetrain. This eliminated the front derailleur. It went from 33lbs to 29lbs and now it is a pretty respectable mountain bike.

I enjoyed this product and I feel thankful to have a nice bike.

I have owned motorcycles but could never get into riding.

The weather isn't great for riding here and the summer is short. I prefer being on a trail in the woods on a mountain bike getting exercise.
