I was wondering if anyone out there has the 2007 Trek 8500, and if so, is it worth the money for all the upgrades, or should I consider the 8000?

I know Decathalon isn't that cool - but i'm not fussed about having a branded bike. This one is reduced from £474 to £399. It's got Shimano Deore front derailleur and Shimano LX rear derailleur. 9 speed. Manitou Axel Platinum 100mm suspension forks, 160mm Hayes HFX Nine disc brakes. Weight = 12.9 kg

I really don't have a clue to be honest - i want a good solid bike that can handle off-road and help me get my fitness back. At the minute i'm just going on what looks nice.

This question is a bit of a follow-up to a previous question regarding what I needed to do to convert my bike to 9 speed from 8 speed. One respondant mentioned something that piqued my interest: "The 8 speed chain is stronger, you have less chances of ghost shifting". I wasn't aware of that, and had actually heard that a 9-speed setup shifts smoother. However, shifting aside, my primary motivation for switching over to 9-speed is the greater availability of replacement parts for future repair (it's really hard to find 8 speed shifters or derailleurs these days!). Anyway, I'm wondering what other pros/cons there are out there regarding the switch to 9-speed. Has anyone switched to 9 from 8 and regretted it? Besides greater chain strength (how much greater?), are there other good reasons to stay with an 8-speed? What other advantages are there to an upgrade (term used acknowledging it's possible relativity) to 9-speed? Thanks very much in advance.

I've heard that the 8-speed hub can hold a 9 speed cassette as well. Would that mean that all I need to do to changeover my bike to be a 27-speed from a 24-speed is: (1) replace the cassette, (2) replace the chain, (3) replace the shifters??

Seems too simple. What am I missing?

A group of up are debating when and if Piaggio ever owned Bianchi. I remember wanting a Bianchi because they were owned by the parent company of my other love Vespa. Anyone who can point us in the right direction would be appreciated.

This is a pull start, the plastic body has a sticker on the left side that reads atv 2oox, looks like this body may be from another 3 wheeler. Is it true the 200x is kick start on 1982. Also looks like the gas tank may be an after market, it is plastic. after I ID. this 3 wheeler I'll be able to move on and purchase a repair manual. Thank for any help.

i havent been on a bike in years, last time i made it round the block and had to come off, the saddle was soo hard and uncomfortable. I long for the days when i was young and had one of those chopper bikes. Im quite happy with an old fashioned type of bike with a basket in front!!! but can i buy a separate saddle which is really cushioned?
