The bike has Deore lx components, Ritchie components, x fusion back shock and axel manitou front shocks. I think that all of this stuff is pretty wild but i dont know. Is this a good bike? replies would be appreciated. Thanx Brian.

It looks as though HM is a German-local brand. Is this your bike?

Looks like it'd be lots of fun

Im 16 and i just started mtb riding a month ago. I own a Giant Rincon '04 but i have upgraded it to a ritchey clipless with a rear panaracer fire XC pro tire. I also have a pair of 1.0 Ritchey Slick tires for road riding. Now i am waiting for a change to buy a Magnesium frame, with a weight of about 2.8 to replace my Rincon frame.

I'm 14, just got into the sport recently and bought a Diamondback Coil Ex as my first bike with my own money. Already in love with the sport and want to upgrade to a 05 Specialized Bighit FSR as soon as I get enough money.
