My buddies took me mountain biking for the first time a couple days ago ( I used our one friends bike) and I really like the sport so I want to get my own bike. The style riding we do includes uphill riding as well as downhill. The downhill trails aren't like pro race tracks, but the get pretty hairy at times. This is what i like the most and prolly will try to concentrate more on the downhill parts more than the climbing. Does anyone have any suggestions on good bikes that would be a good compromise between a downhill bike and a cross country bike. I want something that will hold up to the punishment the downhill gives without being so heavy that I cant do any uphill. I dont want to break the bank either, not until I get alittle more advanced. Thank you.
What would be a good starting mountain bike?
