Just joined for access to people who know a thing or two about bikes. I've found myself getting more into mountain biking lately, so I'll be needing some advice in the coming months.

I've been working my way up in trail difficulty, so I don't know what my preferred riding style is. I do know that my 15+ year-old suspension-less Giant Rincon isn't going to cut it any more.

I'm also married and in the market for a bike for my wife. Right now she's riding my brother's bike (same model as mine, slightly smaller frame) which doesn't fit her well.

Cheers.
