Thread: '0Mountain Bikes:Raleigh Mojave Vs. Diamondback Response Sport ?

Trying to narrow down a good beginners bike for trails and mountain bikeing with jumps lower then 3ft.(probably much lower) I'm a beginner, 5'7' and 140lbs. I used to ride BMX so I know a lil about bikes but not too much about MB. I don't want to get stuck with overpriced junk.

Check out the speks and prices and tell me what you think. There is also links to pages with pic and more detailed specs.

***The Mojave = Shimano Deorev shifters & derailleurs, and RockShox Tora 289 100mm-travel fork.

***The Response = SRAM X-5 shifter & derailleurs, and Marzocchi MZ Comp, 120mm-travel fork.

More detailed speks and pics can be checked out on the website.(Links below)

Thanks much!!
PEACE!

iv been riding db since i was a little guy.. their set at a good fair price and can take a beating...

dont go out and buy a $1000 bike with all the shocks and everything you wont be needing that for a year or two. those bikes are made for cliff jumping not for terrian riding
