I used to ride mountian bikes ALOT! I worked at my local bike shop for 3+ years and became really good...then I got a car and that ended that...

But built up a couple of sweet bikes for myself...could never become a rodie though...

I have a sweet full suspension frame if your interested....but how tall are you? It's a 20" frame.

I did, but my mountain bike literally broke under the weight of myself, my laptop, and the 80 lbs of books I needed to transport home at the beginning of this semester. I am currently debating whether or not to have it fixed or to simply beat it into slag with a piece of spare piping to blow off steam.

I haven't used my Giant ATX (mountain bike) at all this year - or even last year for that matter.

I'm 6' and thinking about a full suspension for next summer. What are the specs?

Well, if you guys ever get tired of pc's, why not get some alternative chat at our new cycling forum.

<ahref="http://www.cyclingforums.com" target="_blank">Here's the link...</a>

It's quite new, so there aren't many members yet. Hoping you guys can stop by and share some knowledge.
Thanks for the replies.

Mods, please forgive if this post violates board rules. If so, please kill (the post, not me)

Its a red Aluminum 20" Pro-Flex 856 (now K2 bikes) and the frame isn't stock. I upgraded the rear suspension to an oil damped spring, used to be friction damped foam. Results = better shock absorption (sp?). The frame also has rear Magura Hydraulic brakes and a XT front derailluer. Like I said I worked in a bike shop, so I paid xtra attention to it, cuz that was my main bike and I didn't want it to crap out on me!

I am 6'1", with a 34" inseam, and the bike fit me like a glove! Now I have a Kestral carbon fibre bike, so I just have the Proflex frame hanging around for somebody interested.

I am honoured to have the amcfreek post in my topic..

I do about a 30km training ride each day...and on average a 80km race every weekend!

I used to do some mtb (or if it rained, it was more like mudding) on some very old coal strip mines around where I went to college. I have a cheap Wal-mart 26" Mongoose with a front suspension. Wouldn't mind going back sometime next summer....
