I am looking for a mountain bike to ask for, for christmas. I am a beginner but plan to go a lot spring and summer and want to get into it. If you have any ideas please let me know which bike to get. Thanks.
I was in your dilemma a few months ago. But after all my research I found that 29er bikes are gonna be the latest big thing. You can research brands like Trek , Giant, Specialized, Cannondale, etc, but Only Motobecane will give you the best deal for parts of what you are paying for.
Go to bikesdirect.com and check the 29ers the Motobecane Fantom Elite is the best choice for what you are gonna pay and does not compare to any other brand on what you are getting.
Check out the brand Giant they have awesome bikes the revel 2 is sweet the straight frame one. Super fun to ride and beautiful looking with the seat down especially.
