Need Advise:.....trail Bikes
Hey everyone
I want to purchase a trail bike (newby, I am use to riding a 12 speed, can't wait to hit the trails this summer). What are your opinions on the Giant Boulder SE W, the KHS alite 150, and the Brodie Lightning. I have also spoken with a few store managers, but I am also looking for advise from people who are out there biking. Thankyou so much for your opinions and advise.
Cheers
Amber

What kind of trail riding do you mean? I dont know much about any of those but Giant is a good brand to start with. Just go to some shops and ride some bikes, ask questions and get what you whant.
My first bike was a DB Sorrento, its kind of a trail bike, mabe a little stout but it is a awsome bike for the price. And it is still taking a beating!

Giant Boulders are good bikes, and great value. I commuted on one for about 12 months. I got hit by a car, and it only needed new forks and a new front wheel. One of my Christmas projects is to get it back on the road as a backup.
