Hi everyone, I'm thinking about buying myself a new mountain bike, to complement my Rivendell and my vintage mtb commuter that is as old as I am. I was wondering what people on here might recommend. I want to spend between $700 and $1700. I want to be able to bunny-hop, hit trails, drop it in the creek, go mud-bogging. I want a bike I can abuse without regret. I have taken my Rivendell on trails, but I want to ride more aggressively. I am 6 feet tall, 210 lbs. 86cm PBH.
I'd like a steel hardtail, but I'd consider aluminum too I suppose. I was thinking something like a Kona Unit X, a Kona Fire Mountain, a Surly Wednesday. The Salsa Rangefinder looks good. Has anyone ridden one? In the past, I have owned a Gary Fisher steel mountain bike from 1997 that I bought new, and a Spot single speed, which I built up from parts but was a little small for me. What do you think? Thanks Michael -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
