I own both a Diamond Back and Mongoose Mountain Bikes with full suspension. They both kick ass and cost about $500 each. Also a TREK is a nice ride as well and maybe about $400.

Also, I got the carrier that connects to a 3 inch hitch recptor so, my rack never touches the truck when were on the road (holds 4 bikes)

A few years back I bought my Trek 7000 and I love it :)
It wieghs next to nothing, gears are smooth and it cost me $800

:thumbsup

Thanks for all your opinions and suggestions guys and gals. I just picked up a 2003 Kona Roast from my good friend Hershie.

Not bad if you like hardtails. :2 cents:

I have a $4000 Mtn bike I'd sell you for $1500. Full suspension...Sid and Psylo...everything is XT etc...all top of the line on a Giant frame. Bought it from a pro rider who was hurting for the money.

LMK at brent at python dot com if you're interested and I'll get you some pics.

Yo Eddy is the only way to go... Might cost ya but you'll be hard pressed to find better...

Thanks anyways Brent, I already grabbed the Kona. It's a done deal.

Happy trails Mark!
Nice how it worked out great for both of us.

Cool! I just have to get you on "one" plank instead of "two" a few more times and you'll trade those in in no time...lol.

Actually I was just being difficult.

Bikes are neither here nor there, they're all pretty much the same. There is really only one thing you should look at when you buy a bike: the geometry.

These companies all use the same components, they just hang them at different angles. Find one you like, sold by a shop with good service and you're set.
