Awesome. Thanks for the reply. Do you have any suggestions? In regards to a complete bike, I mean.

I have not... I mean, a bike yes.Trials, no. haha

Hi guys, I read the sticky on the forum and I know it talked about pricing and going for nicer bikes if you're able but here is my dilemma: I would REALLY like to stay in the sub $1000 range because I would really like to get started soon - Im 27 and not getting any younger - and I will have to save up for a good month or two to get the Element. I just dont know if its worth getting a $1000 bike to start on, and then wish I had just gone for the Element to begin with. I know absolutely nothing about high end bikes at this point, so upgrading a cheaper bike in the near future seems alittle daunting. Any advice on this? Is there some good sub $1000 bikes? Should I wait? etc. Thanks guys.
