You might want to consider full suspension, cuz you're gonna get hooked on the adrenaline rush!!!:welcome:
For a beginner, a hardtail is perfect, but once you get comfortable, you are going to want that full suspension and by that time, you will have a job and you can sell that F4 to one of the peeps on here \\/ :welcome:
Welcome from Aliso The nice thing about mountain biking is though you may ride the same trail, the experience is completely different.
:lol:I was just thinking the same thing, Jack! Anyway, add another one to the list,:welcome:Brandy from Menifee! Hope to see you on the trails!
Hey Brandy, Are you on bikeforums.net too? I lurk there every once in awhile. Welcome! Try to get to a Taco Tuesday ride.......or a Path Sunday ride if you want to get into climbing shape. MS to the Peak is a good climb.
