| 1628.1 | Some Southern NH choices. | SALEM::SHAW | | Mon Jul 09 1990 12:57 | 32 |

Hi John, I did not see a Nishiki at Buchika's in Salem. But Since
they had some great mt. bikes on sale, I thought I let you know.
They have fishers there which are great quality. However what impressed
me the most was there selection of Cannondale bikes. Within the
price range of 550 - 1200 you have a good selection.
If you are in the market for one of the best, Buchika's has quite
a few custom frame's from Brodie (tops!) with wonderful custon paint
jobs. and you can select your own componantry to add on. ie. the
Shimano Deore XT.
I am in the Market for another mt. bike too. I found a great choice,
if you are in the market for a real good quality, competition level
frame and componantry, at affordable prices, I found two great choices
in Derry NH (bike barn too)
Mongoose IBOC-COMP with mono stay rear fork and straight front forks
which translates into quick handling reponse.
Shimano 500LX components , shifters, brakes etc..
Araya RX-7 rims and monghoose 26X1.95 tires (same as farmer johns
cousin). This is probably the best comptition level bike you can
get at shuch a low price . 570.00
The second choice there was a GIANT ATX 760 (the ATX is a new model
for Giant)
This bike has oversize tubing so it is lighter than the Monghoose.
With Shimano Deore LX componentry. for $530.00

| re: .0
If you consider Hillboro, NH as southern NH, try Pedling Fool. They
carry Nishiki, Klein, Haro, Marin, Fat Chance. They're nice people
to talk to/do business with. The only problem is they're only open
'till 5:30 on weekdays, but James (the owner) will stay around if
he knows you're coming up.
Their number is 603.464.5286 (ask for James)
Standard disclaimer - I have no connections with these guys whatsoever
other than I like their service after the sale and their general
attitude when I stop by to visit/chat/shoot the BS/etc.
They also schedule monthly rides with courses for all levels of rider.
These people are all REALLY into biking and ride year round.
Anyway, I've rambled enough!!

| 1628.3 | I just want to try one on | GOBACK::FOX | | Mon Jul 09 1990 14:21 | 7 |
| Thanks for the info. I'll probably get a leftover 89 tho. A lot of
the mail order places have them, and they really drop the prices.
For example: 89 Nishiki Pinnacle, Deore XTII Hyperglide, Prestige
frame, etc, - 600 bucks.
The only problem is finding one in a popular frame size.
