If your geting into Mountian biking a good place to buy a decent starter bike would be sportcheck or sportmart, there cheap bikes, work well and will get the job done
Sportchek sells garbage and their staff set the bikes up horribly and they tune them up worse! trust me from personal experience....
Yea don't go anywhere near the local toy store or department store. You'll spend more on your hospital bills...
I'm looking for an xc around $1000 to $1500 (CAD that is). Can't decide on the brand i.e. Specialized, Kona, Trek etc. I had a specialized before and was pretty happy with it but would like to try a new one. Don't mind buying last year models too. Any suggestions? Thx.
Thanks for this tips! It really helped me a lot since I'm new into biking world. I was also able to read some recommendations and guides at http://www.bicycling.com/ and http://www.bicycleadvisor.com/. Currently, I owned MTB and used it only for exercising purposes. Planning and hoping that sooner, will try long trails.
Thanks for article. I had a lot of doubts with buying a new MTB for my son. And u helped me a lot with it. I bought 29er Diamondback Bicycles Overdrive for him .And he was really happy about this bike
