The components are always a big consideration as is weight on a new bike. But the bike should give you a couple years of fun. Keep it serviced and adjusted and I think you will have a great chance to see how you like mountain biking. I ride both skinny and fat tires. I prefer the fat tires as it give me more of a full body workout and the terrain changes as does the scenery. I get more of a full body workout. How you both enjoy it.
woa woooa woa "wife"?!
thanks for looking it over, yeah they are within a decent distance. They aren't probably like your local ones but they should do i guess, especially for beginners.
I've read the major components are ok but the shocks could do with an upgrade, then again as a beginner i doubt these will bother me much if any. I'm looking forward to it!
