I dont have a LBS thats why I shop online, but I do the sizing chart at least. Even though this mongoose is sold at a toy shop I still really like it for the price and I think I would get every bit of good use out of it for what it cost me, but what im after here is I think I should have went a little more on price with a little better componants for what I want to do with the bike because Im afraid that it wont last up to what Im going to put it through and maybe this motobecane that Im looking at will do the job a little better. Im mainly interested in opinions of people that have or had the motobecane fantom to assure me its a better bike before making any move.
Thanks for the links
