Thread: Mountain Bike

mountain biking, yeah baby!! Love it lots, crash lots too. Just bought a new helmet after I rode off a jump ( not enough speed), did a headstand at high velocity then off to a+e for a while. Nothing broken yet though. As for a bike, there's so much choice, Trademe is good , but beaware just because that bikes only six months old it may have had a hard life and bearing etc are starting to wear quickly. I also just got a new Stumpjumper (Specialized), so light compared to my last bike (hardtail Avanti). In my opinion you don't want to pay less than $1500 for a hardtail (new), $3500 (new) for a full susser. As said before up there you get what you pay for, but also depends how and over what you want to ride. Have look at some vid's on Vorb.org.nz and if you can join a club, like minded people and loads of fun!
