ADVICE NEEDED!!! Are these bikes worth my time???
K2 Zed Sport Bike '06 for about $220.00
or 2006 Motobecane 400HT for about $330.00
Does anyone have any advice on these bikes??? I'm a beginner who will be riding on medium difficulty terrain trails.
Thanks,
MH

Welcome to the forums Matt. I figured some links might help you out in responses, so I've added links:
K2 Zed Sport Bike '06 for about $220.00
2006 Motobecane 400HT for about $330.00
If you don't find anything on Craigslist, I'd suggest the Motobecane of all you've mentioned.

Get a Hardrock!
K anywhoo wheelhot is correct, for your price range you will be much better off getting a HT with higher end components. Does not have to be a Hardrock but I strongly recommend them.
