Can someone suggest a good mountain bike for me? |
I have only a $500 budget so most of the high end bikes are out of my range, but I am thinking I can get something decent for that price. Go to any bike shop, they will be able to find a good entry level bike and make sure it properly fits you. Another alternative is to ask around for a used bike (but make sure you are able to try it out first). Any of the well known companies (Trek, Giant, Cannondale, Specialized, Gary Fisher, Raleigh, Scott, KLM, etc.) will have bikes in your price range. You will want to try several of them out to make sure they are the right size. Do not buy a bike from an on-line source unless you know without a doubt that you are getting the right size. I would start with an entry level aluminum frame Schwinn, Iron Horse, Trek or Giant, which should only cost about $250-$300, and use the leftover money on clipless pedals and mountian bike shoes and cleats. This is exactly what I did a few weeks ago, and I love the bike. I got the Schwinn Frontier FS AL. My first ride on that bike was the first trail bike riding I had done since my childhood, and it was such a blast! Check Raleigh if you like new , they have excellent frames and on range $ 500 you can get good bicycle or look for second hand MTB in good working order . You get what you pay for . Consider your riding , there is not shortcuts . MTB cycle journal bikesdirect.com has free shipping and no taxes. Compare the components to the ones you like, it's incredibly low priced. in your price range, check out Trek, KHS, Specialized, and Giant. http://www.specialized.com |
