Hello all.... Have been riding a 2000 Gary Fisher Tassajara since I bought it new. I am looking into a FS bike. LBS has a new '11 Trek Fuel at a reduced price $1300 and my buddy has a 09 Gary Fisher Procaliber $1500 that is in excellent condition. He wanted to go back to a HT. I think I know the answer as to which to go with but I figured I would ask for some opinions.

Thanks in advance!

I will be the voice of dissent.

Not knowing the condition of the bike but I will assume your buddy likes to ride. If he does what has been replaced? If the answer is nothing then you are going to be looking at a lot more money to replace worn parts.

So if the bike is in excellent shape then I might go with the fisher. Otherwise I would go with a new bike that has a warranty and doesn't ned work out the gate.
