Not to stray off-topic, but that's about the dirtiest goddamn bike frame I have ever seen. 12 years old? Looks like 30 or 40.
Why, thank you! I try.


Here is what you should do. Look up some bike shops in the phone book or local sports magazines. Call ahead and see if they have the brands your are interested in -especially that Kona model MTB that runs for 300.00. Test ride a Kona MTB, Trek 3500 MTB, and the Specialized Hardrock MTB. Come back and tell me your thoughts.
Can you do that?
Uh, yeah, I can do that. You skipped to the end, didn't you?
I don't want a mountain bike; the Huffy is just what I had on hand when I decided to start cycling.

My main question as regards bike brands was whether I REALLY need a Kona Hoss or something similar simply to last under my weight. Upgrading in a few years is no problem, but I didn't want to upgrade and then immediately have to go out and spend more money. Money is tight enough as it is.
