Searched and loved all the info - albeit some older threads - looking for a $1500 new, leftover, used 29er....BUT I'm 6ft8in and 275lbs - 37in inseam.
So, looking at an xxl frame 22-23"
I'm not hard on a bike, just big..
Here's what I had
Raleigh Talus XL- decent
Trek Cobia 23" - nice, too damn red!
Marin Alpine Trail 22" - current actually pretty good bike - but giving it to
my 6ft4 son..
I've got a deal on a lighty used 23" 2012 Specialized Carve Comp for $900 I can buy.
But looking up to $1500 that will fit me, Rocky Mountain, Trek again, maybe another Marin, Specialized? New, leftovers, etc..
Any taller riders have any good suggestion your input would be appreciated!
