Demo-ing a bike is much like renting a car. There is always this curiosity of what the actual limits are and because it is not one's own, one usually has no problems pushing those limits sometimes often compromising the rental. I am slightly in the market for a new mountain bike after selling my old one over a year ago. I don't believe I can go another season without making visits to the single track regions of Colorado. Sooo, the next step after deciding that I actually need one is trying some out and see how they ride. Overall I was really pleased with the Trek EX8. It handled nicely even in the muddiest of situations and had a comfortable stance. Although I would have been happier with a larger frame size which was unavailable I was still pleased. Overall, this bike, the larger one, has the high potential of being in my near future.

Wow, you weren't kidding about the mud.
now that's what i call "muddin'!" when you brought the bike back to the store did you tell them that you were disappointed with its performance due to the mysterious crunchy, unresponsive, sluggish sensation coming from the general vicinity of the drivetrain?
