I am new to the scene of MTB’ing and I would like to know if this bike is a quality bike for about 0. I have a price range of about 0-1000 (maybe) and I am interested in a hard-tail, but I found this full suspension for 0 so I said why not. I am looking to do a little bit of everything. I would like to have a MTB to do everything such as commute on city streets, downhill, jumping and uphill. None of those to an extreme, but I would say for moderate difficulty and abuse. If this isn’t a good bike where can I get a decent hard-tail (Full Suspension would be nice if it is a quality bike) that will perform all of these tasks with ease and be big enough for a 6’7" guy like me to ride? I also saw videos on snapping forks. What are some brands that are durable because I don’t want my forks to break. A list of brands that are quality producers (not too expensive) of MTB’s would be appreciated. Thanks!

I don’t want to do any major jumping just a few medium sized jumps and getting decent air. Also what is the main reason a hard-tail can’t be used for downhill?

the bike i am looking at is on ebay, here is the link.

the bike is a 2006 trek 6000 hardtail (used) it is an aluminum frame with front suspension 19.5 inch frame. the owner said the bike has not been used in 7 months and has NEVER seen a trail. it was used only for travel to the gym and back. "fantastic" condition are words from his mouth. so is this a good buy, average buy, great buy, STEAL???? Thank you for your help.

Im looking to build a bike from this frame i have. The frame is a 2003 Specialized Rockhopper FSRXC Comp Disk. Its a full suspension frame with a Fox Float R rear shock. Im looking at a Cane Creek headset but i dont know if it would fit and be good for this bike. For now i have a Manitou Axel Super suspension fork(which i plan on changing later). The link provided is the headset im looking at. Please give me ahonest educated oppinion on this headset. Any fast knowledgable advice is appreciated. Thanks. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWAX%3AIT&viewitem=&item=180264306427

Hi, I have a 1992 GT Tequesta steel chromoly mountain bike. At the time, I spent like 70 bucks to get an RST suspension fork. I heard RST is good at making forks for motorcycle in Taiwan. It didn’t have springs and used some sort of rubber for the suspension.

I don’t know what happened, the last two years, the fork just sank. I can’t even see the rubber suspension anymore.

SO I don’t want to spend 0-300 on a new fork when I can buy a cheap bike at the dept store for that price. I saw a Rock Shox Dart 2 new for , yet that’s going to run me 0 total.

So I went to EBay and searched for RST forks and got a new one for . Here’s the link, what do you think? I’m not going to go serious biking, just around the lake and the street for fun.

Does it look like there’s a leak? I’m paying 0 for it. Everything works on it. Needs a new oil pan and bolt for the transmission. He said it makes a thud when you first start driving the car due to the suspension.

Also, this sound like a good deal?
Correction: Not the suspension, because of the bolt.
If it’s not a good deal. What else can I buy with 0?

I received an email (allegedly) from eBay with this in the subject line: FPO NOTICE: eBay Registration Suspension -Section 9

The message looks authentic, and it takes me to a non-secure site that also looks authentic to eBay. It then asks me to enter my credit/debit card info, and also asks for my PIN number. The PIN number is what bothered me – I’ve NEVER been asked for that online ever before, and I’m pretty sure this is fraud.

Here is the site that the e-mail takes me to. Maybe some of you more tech savvy than me can tell whether it’s actually eBay: http://signin.ebay.com.ws.ebayisapi.dll.usingssl.yes.signin.siteid.pagetype.copartnerid.a4xmgkby41fub4wsypldocrd6z0izjr7yqklzssh.stevene-burns.com/~lnfh/skin1/modules/Subscriptions/contact.php?co_partnerId=2&pUserId=&email=&siteid=0&pageType=&pa1=&i1=&bshowgif=&UsingSSL=&ru=&pp=&pa2=&errmsg=&runame=&ruparams=&ruproduct=&sid=&favoritenav=&confirm=&ebxPageType=&existingEmail=&isCheckout=&migrateVisitor&&MfcISAPICommand=ConfirmRegist
