What bike should I buy?
Hi everyone,
I am just getting started and i was wondering if some people could help make a decision on what bike I should buy. I am looking at a 2008 Giant Rincon or 2008 Scott Aspect 55. I have rode both bike and both feel very comfortable. Please make any suggestion on which bike i should buy or if you know of and other bikes that good bikes to buy for around $500. Thank you

Ask in the section that covers the type of riding you want to do - Mountain bikes, Commuting, or Recreational. Its better for a newbie to find a good bike shop that will give helpful advice and good support rather than any particular brand of bike. Good luck.

Hi HG29, normally we tell people--whichever one fits best! Not to be smart, but because a bike which fits properly is one that you will enjoy riding. Once you establish that the bike fits, then it becomes a question of the intended use. Commuting? Trail riding only?

If you read thru the various forums here, you see that your question has been asked and answered 10 zillion times.
As Andrew and EH said, get a bike that fits from a shop you feel comfortable dealing with. Those are the two most important things to know about biking. Brand isn't that important.
