Thanks everyone for the input/advice.
I;ve done lots of biking/cycling but an admitted newbie to XC. I don't plan on doing anything crazy from the downhill perspective. Thus, would like have a bike that covers intermediate needs.
Although I like to invest in something that will last as my skill progresses.
Depends, of course, on new or used with respect to what I'm will to spend. I don't mind spending a little more if the deal and value is there.
I was thinking in the $2000-3000 range depending on what that gets me - of course would love to pay less (be easier to convince the little woman...hah) , but realize you do have to pay for quality.
Thanks
