Mountain Bike Help
I'm making a big push to get back into decent-to-good shape in 2013 and I'm going to try to get back into mountain biking/trail riding. I've been out of the loop for so long that I have no idea what I'm looking for in a solid bike. I'm not tall...5'9", so I need an 18"-19" frame. I'm also not wanting to spend a TON of money. If anyone is knowledgable about these things and would like to help out...please do. My budget is about $500-$700.
Thanks homies. |
The new thing is 29 inch wheels so the 26 inch wheel bikes will probably go cheaper. You can pick up a low end hard tail bike for that kind of money. Depends of what kind of riding you want to do.

I bought this in the last year and I really like it. Good overall components and that's really important in a bike.

Trek has a great selection of entry level bikes. If you don't mind used, Craigslist is a good place to find them, many people buy mountain bikes without realizing how physically taxing it is, and quickly give it up. If you do go that route, look up the bike on bikepedia.com and make sure they're not screwing you on the price.

My buddy owns Truman lake bikes, he usually has some used units around. Check him out on that Facebook thingy.
He also has built some absolutely bad ass trails around here Posted via Mobile Device |

I bought this bike about 6 months ago. I know its more than you want to spend but its an amazing bike and about the best hard tail money can buy for an entry level. Ugh never mind it wont let me post links yet. Google 2013 Trek Mamba. |

http://oi50.tinypic.com/jjv9cz.jpg You don't need a mountain bike to ride them. Yeah, if he's doing hardcore climbs and that sort of shit, he's going to need a mtb. But they suck ass on pavement and long rides. |
I thought I wanted a hybrid until I saw them and sat on one. I felt like an old man and didn't like the feel at all.
Go to a good dealer and test ride a few, that's how I found I didn't care for the larger wheels either. |
