Well, see, I don't know anything about mountain bike companies. I've also noticed that we have a couple of bike enthusiasts (cough*youm0nt*cough). Anyway, I needed some help finding a new bike. Nothing too expensive, or expensive at all for that matter. I need it to have a nice ride and all but mainly to be low-to-no maintenence and very durable. Thanks... |

I'm not that crazy. I might jump off a three of four foot dried up river bank. I usually find my limits on stuff then never go to them again. |

hmm a cross country bike with a front suspenion fork should be fine for you.do you ride in wet/muddy/sandy conditions?if so and you think rim brakes arent doing their job,check out disc brakes.
id recommend getting a bike from a bike shop.they usually give you lifetime adjustments and maintenance etc.and bike shop peopel are usually smarter and have good mechanics 
my bike shop gives you: -100% Satisfaction Guaranteed, Period -Free Lifetime Adjustments on Bicycle Purchases -Double the Manufacturer's Warranty on Frame, Fork, and Components -Fit Guarantee on Bicycle Purchases -Free 30 Day Bike Check-Up and Comfort Evaluation -Certified Bicycle Fit Technicians -Certified Service Technicians -Rewards Club Membership -Home Delivery Service -Free New Bike Owners Clinics Edited by youm0nt |

I do ride in wet/muddy stuff somtimes. This is what I've collected:
Now I need a good name that I can trust. I was impressed witht the Norco's but found out that there isn't a dealership within 4 hours of me I just checked out my local bike shops info, and they have Cannondale, Giant, and Haro. Are any of those good brands? Edited by Semper Durus |
