I have a TREK 4500 that I want to sell. Has about 5 miles on it. Bought it 2 years ago thinking I was gonna ride but never got around to it. Has Judy ROK SHOKS in front and I also had them put on and electronic odometer/speedo. Paid $500…I’ll let it go for $250. Thing is brand new…mint. Heres a pic I found on-line…I can take some pics if you want but I guarantee it is in perfect shape. The color is just like the pic…steel/gray/black ![http://www.bayviewcycle.com/Bikes_Images/Trek2006/4500_steelgrayblack_L.jpg](http://www.bayviewcycle.com/Bikes_Images/Trek2006/4500_steelgrayblack_L.jpg) PM me if interested… ![http://www.nyspeed.com/forums/images/statusicon_msn/user_online.gif](http://www.nyspeed.com/forums/images/statusicon_msn/user_online.gif) ---

> [@XwalkerX](#): > > hydros will be out of your price range on a new bike. i suggest if you do want to upgrade like brett said get a bike that will accept the discs but since everyone is so against v’s you could pick up a set of shimano xt v-brakes with the parellel pull and you will be 100x happier than cable discs… I can testify. I bought XT-V brakes with the parallel push mechanism and matched XT-V levers the year they were introduced, and they are still my favorite brakes of all time. They are on my beater Kona, and have no intentions of ever changing them. My newer Kona has cable discs and I am not too thrilled with them. The calipers don’t float correctly, therefore they rub, and the stopping power just isn’t as good as the old XT-Vs. I haven’t had a chance to play with Hydro discs, but i have had pretty much every other type of ATB brake out there. I had Magura HS-22s (Hydralic rim brake) before my XT-Vs and got really tired of trying to make them work correctly. I was always bleeding them, replacing lines, ordering new brass fittings from the bike shop in the Walker plaza because they were the only place that could order the parts for me… And don’t even get me started on traditional cantilevers!
