Please help me find a great bike! I want to get outside and ride soon! This cold weather is killing me! I'm new here and new to bikes that are of this caliber. Thanks guys! I'm looking forward to all input!!
1) Your budget. How much do you have to spend on the bicycle (not including accessories such as helmet, gloves and other accessories).
500-1000. More like 800 to be a bit more specific.
2) What bikes, if any, are you already considering? (Please try to limit the selection to a handful if at all possible, and provide links to those bikes. Remember, we don't always know the exact specs of all the bikes out there!)
I don't know. This is why I'm here.
3) What type of riding do you intend to do? (e.g. Cross Country, Freeride, Downhill, paved paths)
Trail Riding - Dirt, Streams, Wooded Areas, Trails
4) Do you have a preference over a hardtail or full suspension?
I don't know which would be best for me? Maybe the next question will help with that.
5) Age, weight and height. (In many instances very important for a variety of reasons).
28. I'm about 220-250 I think at 6 foot tall.
6) What sources will you consider buying from? (e.g. Your Local Bike Shop, online vendors, or used bike sources such as mtbr classifieds, craigslist, ebay and others)
I'll buy from anywhere as long as the used bikes are in very good to mint condition.
7) Do you want people to offer you alternative suggestions to issues such as budget, bikes already considered, and sources?
Sure.
