Hello,
I have dabbled in mountain biking a little in the past with a lower grade bike, and I am getting into it enough now that I would like to go ahead and purchase a "real" mountain bike. My dilemma is, I am not well versed on what kind I should purchase for my skill level and body type. I would still classify myself as a beginner for sure. I am a rather petite female, 5'4 & 105 lbs. I formerly had a specialized that I had been given as a gift but it was too large for me and had a heavy frame. I am an avid sportsman, so I have no problem spending a decent penny like I do with all my sport equipment. However, I do not want to spend thousands on a bike and find out I really am not 100% into it (although I doubt that will happen) Any help is welcomed and appreciated.
Thanks,
Alexz
