New here!.. Thank you all in advance for all of your help and opinions.. :)
I am looking at the following 3 bike's...
http://www.rei.com/product/745678
http://www.khsbicycles.com/07_tc_150_m_07.htm
http://www.raleighusa.com/items.asp?deptid=11&itemid=283&childid=442
Now.. What I am looking for... I would like front suspension, aluminum frame (the weight of the bike is important to me), men's bike, size 15" or 16"... Everything else is up in the air.. I plan on riding on the street/sidewalks until we get to the forest preserve and it's dirt trails which is a couple miles away.. I am a casual rider and I will not be doing any extreme mountain biking as I live in Illinois and it is flat here.. :P
All of these bikes are within my pricerange.. Under $300... I am not really sure what to look for as far as quality parts is concerned so I am hoping this is where you could take a look at them and assist me.. I have to purchase this bike within the next 2 weeks..
Any questions?...
So happy to have found these forums and thank you once again for any and all help that you can provide!!!!
