@ynewbee there are really 2 brands of mongoose bikes the wal-mart brand and the independently owned cycling shop brand the independently owned cycling shop brand is a great value for money and includes a lifetime frame warranty and include higher end specs than usual for price and I would definitely recommend one to you but like all things from wal-mart those and all bikes are straight crap
@ynewbee depends for under 300 dollars no buy one that cost at least 500
kona cinder is crap man X( and seatpost susp is crap on a mountain , dart 2 is kinda ok for xc
nooo it isn’t look more like por yeti, GT, trek, specialized etc
is mongoose a good brand?
I just bought a Jamis mountain bike! Been
Offroad fist thing,upgraded forks to marranucci bombers! Upgraded seat and post to kore! Getting ready to upgrade rims and tires! Is Jamis a good mountain bike?

ya there awesome. had a hardrock for 8 years and its stil running. cost me $500 THO
I just bough my mountain bike.
Been riden today, and, I love it!
Its not stupid to buy a mountain bike and never go off road! If you buy a mountain bike then you can ride ANYWHERE if you need to, dirt, pavement sand, puddles, on and off curbs. A mountain bike is the best bike to have! I don’t know if I have a mountain bike but I have all terrain tires!
p2 cromo for me
I have an old trek 820 that i beat the crap out of; its 9 years old or something and I was wondering if a Specialized Hardrock is a good replacement. Also, I would like to know a good place to buy used bikes.
HAHAHA! at the beginning, the bike changed!
thanks, but I have fucked up my knee, hand and my friends bike yesterday.
so i wont be able to ride for next few weeks. cheers from slovakia.
Yes, kukumberknyk, and today’s mountain bikes aren’t exactly slow, either. They are not like the old fashioned three-speed touring bikes. Up to about 20mph, I would estimate, they are about as fast as a 10-speed. That is good for most riding and getting around. Hey, if I ever need to go over 20mph or so, I’ll drive! And, as I said, they climb any hill easily. THEY ROCK! Have fun with your MTBike, my friend.
dude, i have hardtail MTBike. i mostly ride on roads(in bad condition). its great! i have just changed the tyres for slicker ones.
Hey, my mountain bike is tough; it can take bumps and potholes; it has a comfortable riding position; It has low gears and can climb any hill easily; it’s great in the city; and it is not exactly slow, either. I would be retarded NOT to choose a mountain bike.
