can anyone suggest a good bike to get in the $1000 to $1700 range i want a bike for trails little to moderate jumps and that can handle downhill but not a downhill monster costing $4000+:eek: oh i would also like it to be good for freeride
try the canondale chase 2 i just got one and if you get a large they are ok to cycle for long distances plus they are super strong dont know what they cost in dollers but about 900 gdp
