I am in the market for a Mountain Bike and looking for the best I can afford in the $700-$1200 range. I am a big guy, 325 lbs, so need something that can stand up to my size.

I will do mainly dirt road and some trail riding for excersise.
Thanks in advance to any advice.
(besides I should have been riding before I got to 300 lbs)

My dad has a Specialized XC Comp, I think he's at about 260ish. It might be a little out of your price range but it should hold up to the abuse that you will give it.

specialized stup jumper would be good for you but its around 2,000 area

Beefy frame and a bunch of tough components. Rocky Mtn makes quality frames and I bet the bike would work great for your purposes.

There are some people well in excess of 400 pounds riding those bikes with good success.
