I've been mountain biking a few times and the last two times I went I even managed to avoid falling down so I bought a bike. It's a 2001 Cannondale Raven 800. It looks cool but I get the feeling it's more looks than substance. It's never been ridden and I got it for a good price so I'll be happy either way. I like the Specialized S-Works bike but there's no way I'm going to spend that kind of money now (or maybe ever) on a mountain bike.

That means you're not trying hard enough. :-)

Sounds like a great deal, and taking an unridden bike out into the world is like a public service!
