Specialized

Would this bike be a nice bet to get? I like that it is equipped with mostly Shimano parts and hydraulic disk brakes!

That's a really good bike, but I wouldn't spend that much money on sump'n with 2 wheels unless there was an engine of some sort on it.

I've got an old Huffy Thunder Ridge and that's fine for me (although that dosn't even BEGIN to compare with that Enduros features)

Specialized bikes are good bikes, I have two of 'em, a Stumpjumper and a FSR Pro. If you are an avid mountain biker, they are well worth the money. I wouldn't reccomend buying that bike if all you are going to do is jump curbs though.

Yea i would never spend more than $300 on a bike. $2000 is just WAY too much money for a bike (in my opinion).

Personally im a hard tail person. I have a specialized though and it is awsome. I suppose if you're really into like doing jumps and stuff, go ahead with the full suspension. Lots of my friends say that norco has the best full suspension bikes, but I am not really educated on the subject.

I actually have the best of both worlds, the Stumpjumper is a hard tail (front susp.),and the FSR is the downhill full suspension (set up just like a motocross swing arm and mono shock).
I paid about $1700-1800 each, and probably have another $1500 invested in upgrades on each. The funny thing is they just sit in the shed now, ever since that little micro RC car came along.

Every time i turn around you're posting up things that I also have. It's like we're I don't know, but something...lol

I had a Stumpjumper, and a Rockhopper.... Both hard tails, but parted with them when I moved countries..

Both with Shimano XTR everything.. (just about)
