Are you planning on doing lots of trail riding, city, or a combination of both? How big are you (height/weight)? Personally I think it's wise to find a bunch of bikes that are suitable for a rider of your size and then test ride as many as you can. Plus, if you go to local bike shops watch for last years' models. You can save big on them. I saved 25% on mine. Mark
