Hi there,

I'm just starting out in cycling and recently watched a mountain bike video which got me hooked on the idea of getting a mtb. The question is, which do I get....?

I have about $2000 dollars to spend and want something decent, but not full suspension.

I've looked at Ti bikes and Carbon Fibre bikes, and can't seem to decide between them. I don't know very much about Steel and Aluminum, but have heard that Ti and Carbon are the way to go.

Any advice out there?

Thanks muchly
