Need advice on picking a mountain bike
Hi all,
I am in need of some advice for selecting a bike. I will be using this bike to ride to uni which is about 12km from where I live. Also I will also be using it to go mountain bike orienteering. Lastly where I live can get pretty hilly. The guy at the bike shop said a Trek 3900 should do the trick but I think he is full of shit and I am wanting to get a second opion. If anyone could give me some advice I would greatly appreaciate it. Thanks for your help, Cheers Adam |

Re: Need advice on picking a mountain bike
Not a Trek MTB fan. Gary Fisher's geometry is the best I have ridden. Giant is good at the upper end of the spectrum, but I don't like their lower end bikes.
