Sorry no info from here i know Motobecane has been out of the loop around here for awhile. What type of bike are you looking for & how much are you willing to spend

Right now I ride a Trek 830 I bought 10 years ago.I have put probley 20000 to 25000 miles on it,all stock ,never had any problems with it .I paid $350.00 for it. I like the look of full suspension bikes and I would like to spend $500 to $700.

Thats one heck of a deal you got back then. If your not brand loyal check out Ibex bikes. They are a net company ot of Georga that has been growing stronger every year, not a fly by night place, and passes the savings on to the consumer instead if there pocket. The frames are very well built, have great components & drive train for the price, excelent value. :thumbsup: On the FS side your better off spending the extra money for the better driveline. Since your adding pivots & a rear shock the price has to go up so to compensate on the the driveline & components go down in quality. with Ibex the Ignition 3 at $799 is your best bang for the buck but staying within your budget the Ignition 2 will work fine. On the HT side you can get quite the sweet bike for $599 the Alpine 650.

Excelent choice, it is cheaper to spend more now rather than latter although sounds like you did excelent with the Trek.
