Thanks. Do you think I'd be better off with the used Rockhopper for $375, or a new Trek 820 or 3500 for about the same price.......Thanks

The HR was gone before I could see it.

My son has a 26" bike right now (from Dick's that he got last summer, looking to get a good bike for him), so a 24" might feel small to him. I'll have to...

Thanks for all the replies. I think there's some decent sales at a local lbs that I'll have to look at. But there's also this 2007 16" Rockhopper on CL for $375, but it might be too small.

Thanks. I might be able to look at the Hotrock this week. It might be too small. I like him to be able to use it for a couple of years before he out grows it.

I can also get a Specialized Hotrock for $75. I think it's about 5 years old. It's advertised as a 26"-I thought 24" was the biggest Hotrock.

Hi,

I was looking to buy my 11 year old son (he's 5'2") a MTB for Christmas. He has never ridden on any type of mountain trails before, so he won't be doing anything heavy or extreme at all.

I have a mountain bike that I use for single track trails, but I was wondering if you thought this would be a good bike for rail-trails and around the neighborhood. It's a Giant Acapulco,...

I rode the Trek 7200 and 7300 today. Both seemed a little stiff to me (I think I liked the 7200 over the 7300, as far as the ride).

I looked into the Specialized Crosstrail, but the only one...

Thanks again for all of the input. I guess I'll have to take a look around-this time, armed with more knowledge. I'll take a look at the Trek 7000, 7100, 7200, 7300 and the FX series. Then I'll check...
