Default Mountain Bike Full suspension or Hardtail 29er or 26er

Name: Shawn
Location: Suffolk
Means of contact: pm/text 757-839-1115
Price: $ 550 +/-

Description:

Looking to buy a higher end mtb. I prefer a 29er but am open to 26" bikes also. I am looking to spend 5-600 and I can throw in a bnib 16gb ipod nano and a old 160gb Ipod to add to the value. If the bike is nice enough I can go higher on my cash price also. So feel free to offer up what you guys have. Thanks

Man, you're not going to get a higher-end full suspension mountain bike for that price, you need at least 11-1200 bucks to get something worth owning. I'd limit yourself to hardtails if that's going to be your price. SCAT bikes in Portsmouth has Raleigh & Cannondale 26" and 29" hardtails in that price range and they're awesome guys to deal with. I'd suggest paying them a visit.

Went there today they had nothing in my size, only large frames. I need a medium frame. I ended up getting a 2013 Model Trek Marlin. Decent reviews, its a 29er and im happy thus far. Thanks for the recommendation though, I figured you would show up in this thread. Now I just need to take it out.

yeah guess I need to request to lock the thread. And no I didn't get it from East coast bikes, didn't know who they were. I went to the ones I was familiar with, ie: Scat, Performance etc....I ended up buying from one here in Suffolk where I live, guy gave me a great deal, threw in new bars and life time tune ups etc for free. 2013 Trek Marlin 29er Gary Fisher edition, took it out to the little trails at nike park it does fine, but the damn bontrager seat has got to go.

gotcha. good shit. and if it didn't do well at Nike, i'd be terrified. get it out to C loop at Freedom and get some air, then let's talk!

i used this saddle on both of my MTBs, and it's well worth the coin. Fizik makes a fantastic saddle.
