Help me find a mountain bike...
I am looking at getting into mountain biking as a way to get in shape but also because my brother in law and my neighbor who hits the singletracks every weekend want me to go out with them.
I have been out of the bicycle scene since I was a missionary when we would get every bike catalog in the world sent to our apartment. What I am looking for is something suitable for the single track. Doesn't have to be full suspension, a hardtail with a nice fork would do. But if I could find a decent full suspension ride, maybe with a lockout so I could throw some slicks on for jaunts around the neighborhood or town. I am looking to spend around $1500. Maybe a bit more for the right bike. Also, I am a big guy 6'1 275 or so. So I need something substantial and with decent components. If you guys could point me in the right direction of where to look and maybe what to stay away from I would appreciate it.
