My new Specialized Rockhopper Comp

I'm totally stooooooooked!  Woo hoo!  I've been checking Craigslist everyday for a new bike for weeks on end and I finally found one.  *Sigh*   For those of you who know Craigslist, it's a first come first serve basis.  Ebay is like a bidding war that just jacks up the price.  Don't get me wrong, I've bought many an item from ebay, but living in Hawaii limits me to the size of the item.  Most people don't want to ship their generator or bike all the way to Hawaii.  Bummer.  Craigslist on the other hand, is the local consumers "ebay".  If it's in the Oahu listing, I can get it.  Unfortunately, people like myself live watching that thing and if your not quick on the draw with a good offer, your out.  I've been out many times, but this time I made my move.  I noticed that someone posted thier bike multiple times to try and sell it.  I knew by the 3rd time they were getting desperate.  I made my offer, he countered, we settled, I met him at Kahala Mall, I bought it.  I must admit, when I first saw the bike it was like Spongebob with the spotlight on him and the voices singing.  You know what I mean?  I was smitten.  What kind of bike you ask?  OK maybe you never, but I'll let you in anyway...it's a Specialized Rockhopper Comp.  Beautiful.

Now I have a Specialized Globe and my new bike is 10x better.  I took this puppy out for a quick spin around the block and was blown away at how light and responsive that thing was.  Now all I gotta do is sell my Globe bike on Criagslist.
