    Hey guys in looking into buying my first mountain bike. I will be riding it to school and work and the occasional weekend trail. Where should I start looking?

    You should buy two. A lesser quality one to commute on and a nicer one for your trail stuff. And buy locks for both ;)

    Go check out what your bike shops have. You may find a left over 2013 for a good discount.

    Check you lbs like previously stated and check out pinkbike.com for much more of a selection...beware who you buy from though.

    Do what everyone else said. I got my bike half off cause it was last years model. If you search Craigslist you can find some good deals on cheap bikes. I got a 29er single speed steel for around $200. Made for a good commuter.

    id go medium for sure a lot of guys i ride with run larges at 5'10-11"
    unless its a 29er then you might be able to get away with a small, id go med unless you find a really good deal on a small thats a 29er

    that recoil is a small frame... some one about 5'6 could ride it. and its got the coil rear shock... it sells at dicks sporting goods for about 350 new. i wouldnt give over 150. he said he paid over 700 for it. anyone that pays that much for a mountain bike to just commute is an idiot

    forgott to say if you use the promo code meetup20 it should work and you'll get 20 bucks off making it only 399.99! ;)

    not to mention free shipping and no tax since your in AZ so you'll be looking at 399.99 out the door! (if the promo code works since its on close out but it should)
