I bought my first mountain bike tonight and the first bike I've owned in over 10 years that wasn't a BMX bike. It was at the local bike shop and I looked at it Saturday, liked it but ultimately left. I stopped by today and the owner says "oh I was gonna call you. That's one of the employees bikes so I could save you some money of you pay cash. $160.". I said done let me go get my truck.
It's a 2001 GT Aggressor. Pretty basic but in like new condition and good enough for my needs right now.
Nice pick up, looks like new! Planning to ride some single track or just for cruising around?

It will largely just be cruising around but I have a few buddies that are really in to single track and have already tried to loop me into a ride. I've done some single track on borrowed and rented bikes and it's fun but time consuming for something I can't take the rest of the family to do so that'll be limited.

Looks like a good deal.
I ride a similar vintage mountain bike. I've had it since 2000 and have replaced 70-80% of the parts on it since then, so now it's basically custom built just the way I want it. It's built like a tank (30-pound hardtail). It's mostly an urban commuter now, but it's nice to know I can jump some curbs/ride down stairs/whatever and it's not gonna flinch. Plus, I don't look like some spandex-clad fitness freak on a road bike.

I will never forget you chattering your way down copper harbor then blowing random parts off that thing!
Good times, good times. -
I might be going insane but I'm thinking about going the 550i route....
I'd really do your homework on the N63 and what years are the best to buy. I don't know details but I just remember the early cars with would consume oil. They sound great with an exhaust.

I ultimately went with the 535xi so I dont have to worry too much about the snow. It would have been a lot of fun though
Good move. I had a 550i xdrive msport in Colorado for 10 days or so and drove hundreds of miles on it including a canyon run and it was just too heavy and underwhelming. The difference in power between the N55 and N63 can easily be made up and the N55 does not feel that much slower than the N63 stock for stock. You made a good choice.

I hope some company will produce a nicer looking aftermarket bumper skin. Whoever does, will probably do well with it.

I biked downtown Madison today to check out the damage and see if people were still out protesting. There was still a good sized crowd hanging out in the state street corner of the square, maybe 60 to 80 people, and a lot of people like myself just out taking the tour. Every business on state street was boarded up and almost all of the wood now has graffiti or murals painted on it. Unlike what you might see online, 100% of the messages were behind the BLM movement. Probably not surprising, considering it's Madison, but I was surprise how much I was affected by it.
On my way back up state street, there was a young black guy, maybe 18 or 20 laying face-down with his hands behind is back in middle of the East Johnson intersection. Police were already there and were totally chill, just making sure he didn't get run over, but it's really hard to know what to do or how to feel when you're in a situation like that. He was obviously trying to force some kind of confrontation. I was going to just ride away, but I ended up turning around and coming back. By then there were a bunch of people in the street holding signs and taking pictures. There was a lot of that kind of thing happening, just people getting shots to post on social media like "look at me, I'm not racist". I ended up leaving again, but on my 2nd trip back through everything was back to normal like nothing even happened.
Anyway, that's just my experience, but I would recommend going there and checking it out, regardless of where "there" is. It's amazing how de-sensitized to things you can become just seeing them on a screen versus actually being there.
