Hi all, I'm after opinions to help work through a new bike choice.

I'm thinking about getting a new bike later in the year and I'm having trouble deciding what way to go. Mostly the choice centres around how much travel to get, so I'm not after advice on what bike model/brand is better.

Hard Tail recommendations for my 10yo son for Christmas

Hi,
Wanting to get a XS or S 26" hard tail for my 10 year old son for Christmas. It will be his first 26" and want to spend about $400-$500.

Any recommendations??
Thanks

Hi all, sorry but I need to get something off of my chest...
I have read several "New Bike" & "New frame" forums recently where hard tail frames have all but been dismissed as a thing of the past, contributors usually say something along the lines of:
"I locked out the back end of my (insert name) duallie the other day & it felt shit, "Why would anyone buy a hard tail bike/frame these days"?

Well, if you think that's really all there is to it then I think that you should borrow a reasonable HT & give it a spin around an XC circuit.

Breathing life back into a hard tail MTB frame

So I've just finished a project building-up this 8 year old Legless Lizard mountain bike frame as a single speed flip-flop fixie. The frame has been in a bike bag in the garage for years now and its great to be able to breath life back into it.

If anyone's interested in doing something similar, or just interested in what went into it, I kept a blog of the process. Check it out http://hybridbike.posterous.com/ be good to hear your thoughts on whether the flip-flop system is innovative or not? I've not seen many around, but then I don't hang-out much in the fixie world Eye-wink
