New or used doesn't matter. I was on a 20" but want to try out the 26" world. I'm 6'3 and I just don't feel that stable on a 20 anymore. What brands should I look at for trails only, no street or park. I need to find one around $500-$600 but I could go a little more if I needed to. Just not sure where to start looking. thanks.
Need a cheap DJ bike
- Thread starter Blown04GT
- Start date
Higher Priced Completes
* Blackmarket RIOT or 357
* Eastern Thunderbird or Nighttrain (Nighttrain is better b/c of Rock Shox Argyle Fork. Avoid RST Space fork)
* Giant STP
* Specialized P1, P2
Medium Price / Medium Quality
* DK Asterik (Comes with Marzocchi DJ 3, a good fork)
* Mongoose Ritual (comes with RST Space, better than random xc fork, but DJ responsiveness not so great)
* Haro Thread series
thanks for the awesome reply!
I saw they've got the three57's on ebay for cheap, but I wanted a large black one and they're sold out. the wife's pissed at me right now about trying to get another bike so they might sell out before I convince her to let me get one. lol

try to get used, you can get a way better than new bike, second hand. if i were to sell my hardtail (which i am not) it would sell for a grand or less, i payed 2500. used bikes are generally your friend, especially built up from the ground.
Cash + craigslist will get you the best deal with the least risk.
