Hey guys and gals, it's been a while! I am sure that the majority of you are newer and don't remember me... Anyhow, I think it is time for me to get a new Mountain bike and well, i have been focusing on road for a while. Here's my criteria:
I don't need to spend an exorbitant amount of money on this thing.
Mostly XC but I really REALLY like going fast on the downhills... so no silly xc race bikes
Reasonably light
Shimano components (preferably XT at least)
Full suspension with an efficient suspension design.
26 inch wheels (yeah, non of the 29er stuff for me)
Hydrolic Disc brakes (i'm flexible on the brand)
I know, I know "use the search bar newb" or "there's a million threads like this already" or whatever, now I've said it so you don't have to.
So whats good out there right now, I have been out of the loop for to long and it is time to ride MTB again!
