Shaggy, you need a Hummer bike $249 at Sams Club now.

Shag, then you can say that you have a Hummer, and when you sell it you can say you got one.

OK...so maybe cheap full suspension is not better then mid-grade 1/2 suspension (or whatever the fu*k you call it). I am open to advice.

If you get one, you'd better get your butt out and get some training in asap. You don't want to the Slicrock trail or Porcupine as your first ride. You need get comfortable with shifting, climbing, braking on steeps, etc.

Take it over to green mountain and ride, ride, ride. There's all sort of trails from easy (flat trail around the perimater) to tough/steep single track.

The Diamondback Coil EX is right at that price brand new...so I would imagine it would be even cheaper if I found one a year or two old. It is an "Entry Level" Full-Suspension...but I am an entry level rider.

I second the Gary Fischer...

Very good frame, just make sure to get good components. I know of a great place to get Gary Fischer bikes at a good price, PM me. You dont want a full suspension bike for the riding you will be doing Brian...
