I've never been to Jenson's, so I can't say if the lower price would be worth it.

I have been to The Path (duh

), and I have seen their customer sevice at work.
To me, and quite a few others, it's second to none.
I've seen a bunch of people buy bikes from other shop's, then end up bringing them into The Path for service, then hear them say, "I should have just bought my bike here".
Like I said, I'm not knocking Jenson's at all, I'm just letting you know what I've seen first hand.
Hope this helps.

I travel alot on MTBing road trips. I have yet to find anything that approachs The Paths inventory. When I tacoed a Niner rim in Tahoe, I should have had The Path shipped me a new rim...my bike would have been back together quicker and cheaper. I just did not think of it until Brian (Donkey) from the Path offered to send me out one.

If you ride 29 inch wheels many shops don't even carry tires or tubes. When in Prescott I have had to drive either to Flagstaff or Phoenix for parts.

The budget I'm bringing with me on Sunday is in the range of $1000-1500, $1500 only if I find a totally rad bike. I'm more comfortable with $1200.

Any idea what I should expect to find with that kind of cash? I have no idea what bikes The Path stock. Their webpage is a little intimidating.

05-07 is all good, just as long as I get what I want. Basically a FS XC/AM w/rear lockout.

you will get a f/s bike with a great frame with so/so components on it for around $1200.00

And they will back up that bike with service and knowledge that is priceless

TucknRoll · 08-29-2007, 05:35 PM

What bikes does The Path have in inventory? The Path is a 50+ mile road trip for me each way.

Check out their site. In the middle of the page they have links and the logos for most of the things they carry, specifically bikes.

Seven, Foes, Bianchi, Intense, Turner, Specialized, Iron Horse, Ventana, Chumba, Norco, Surly, Ellsworth, Moots, Rocky Mountain, Jamis... just to name a few.

I'll add to the list the frames I know they have:

LenzSport, Kona, Niner, Soma, Surly, VooDoo, and Vassago.
(can anybody tell me what all those frames have in common?)

GIve them a call!!!!!!!!! Sayy

and tell them what you are lookin for and see what they have in that catagorie... They have a lot of stuff on the floor and a lot more hidden away upstairs...

davidB · 08-29-2007, 07:36 PM

I desperately hope to find a XC FS frame from either sale. I'd prefer the Path but without knowing either stores inventory, i guess i'm playing a guessing game. I'll probably pick up everything i want at jenson and get the frame or bike at the path.

The Path also has a "take off" wall with parts that were taken off bikes and upgraded, etc.

You can check out jensonusa's site to check out the bikes they carry.

You'll find great parts and deals at both shops on a regular basis, as well as during the sales.

Just bump'in it to see if anyone else is interested in the ride before the sale?

Pre-Sale Path Ride Sept 9

genusmtbkr5 · 08-30-2007, 07:10 AM

Bummer, I'll be in Hurkey Creek Fri, Sat and Sun for a campout. No ride for me Crash.

You see, I'm bummed I'm going to ride a great course. This Path sale is that good! I hope to get back in time before 5pm.

Fired Yo Momma · 08-30-2007, 07:27 AM

I am glad I will be in Vegas that weekend. I figured with the strippers and gambling it may be a cheaper weekend compared to the last time I went to the Path sale.

As a side note I kind of understand what TucknRoll is talking about the website. The website in my opinnion is sub-par but that may be the tradeoff for good service and great prices.

I believe they stock:

Big brands w/complete bikes:

Kona
Ironhorse
Specialized
Norco
Bianchi
Jamis(?)
Redline

Frames: (You name it basically) Ellsworth, Turner, Lenz, Voodoo, Niner, Soma, Seven etc?

With your budget, I'd see if they have an '05 or '06 Kona or Specialized maybe an IH or Norco on clearance.

Note: The lockout on a rear shock isn't really a must these days with all the propedal/stable platform technology. Some designs like the IH don't even come with that option. I'd just make sure what ever bike you may buy the rear shock on the Frame has REBOUND adjustment. I know some of the low end Kona Kikapus don't have this.
