best buy in L.A.

HI everyone, I'm new here, from Italy.
I have a question as I'm coming to California end of August and I'm going to Mammoth mountain, I need to buy and hardtail as soon as I land in L.A., so, what's the best deal I can do? Anyone can suggest me the best shop in L.A. or on the way to Mammouth?

Really thank you in advance. Massimo

 

You can always rent a bike from a local bike shop. Plus I think you'll want a full suspension bike for Mammoth and it will make it more fun.

 

You will want to rent a big travel downhill bike for Mammoth. Riding Mammoth on a hardtail would be painful.

The best place in town to rent is Footloose sports in Mammoth.

They have Norco A-Line, Specialized Demo 7 and Demo 8 for rent. There was even a Santa Cruz VP-Free in their rental stable. It's about $80 to rent for a full day.

 

If you want to do some riding in LA, hit me up.

 

Yep, Burner is the man for that task

 

Check out JensonUSA, I think I saw something on there site about some kind of travel refund with the purchase of a bike? Its worth checking into.

 

don't derail the foreigner's thread

yep, just ask Fo's wife (or mom, take your pick)

ciao
