[I'm With Him]

Okay, so I have begun the long and grueling task of hunting for the perfect bike to begin my freeride career...or hobby at least If anyone has any suggestions (I have a team of friends and a very excited boyfriend on the job as well) as to what would be a good, relatively inexpensive bike to start on, I'd appreciate it. I'm about 150ish pounds and plan on jumping. Again, I'd really appreciate the help! Thanks!

Dirt bag.......great bike, but she is looking for a fully for under or right at 800.

 

[lovebunny]

well for 800 you cant get much betterthan the specialized bighit spec. if i were you id look for a used bike. theres some bighit comps goin for around that

 

[stringcheese]

you should get a hottub full of chainrings

Go with a Specialized P2 or one of the Giant's STP's.

i personally agree with monkey spanker, my friend has a P2 and ive probably rode his bike more than my specilaized comp. Its a heavy duty frame but still light.Another choice may be one of the konas'.id suggest a hoss or somethin near it, but i still think the P2 is ur best choice.

hey those giant stp are great bikes. it you are looking to dirt jump a hardtail is really helpful. the stp is great because you can get the top dog model for $1000. they have short chainstays. 16" to be persice. they ride great. that are also versitile. you can do mtx, dj, street/urban, light fr(they are a little steep angle wise though)

btw Gaint has the best warrent i know of!! only took them 5 days to get me my new frame!!
