Bike brands
#2
there are many good choices. sometimes the components make more of a difference than the frame.
help us out:
what do you want to spend?
do you want to buy a complete bike or build your own?
full suspension, front suspension, or full rigid?

Gary fisher = 29er. There is a lot of brands available who have learned from Fisher. Start with the best frame and fork and buy from there.
