New to Biking
Hey everyone,
My name is Khoa, and I'm starting to get into mountain biking. I've had a couple of "mountain" bikes before, but i don't think they are good for serious riding. What bikes do you recommend for a 3-4 hundred dollar budget? I'm 5'11, what size bike will be good for me?
Thanks,
Khoa

I've only looked at REI so far. Seems like they have bikes for around $500. As for brands I wasn't paying attention. this was before I sold my bike(motorcycle), so i didn't pay that much attention to it. but now, I will.
