Hi All,

I'm in the market for a mountain bike for recreational riding. Nothing too over the top but definitely for off road use.

Last Friday I bought a 26" Schwinn at the Point Hueneme Naval Exchange. When I got home I made the necessary adjustments and took off for her inaugural ride.

I didn't get more than 1/2 a mile away when the chain came off the sprocket and the rear shifter mechanism broke.

I called Schwinn, their response "Return it to the store and get a new bike."

Exactly, but not a Schwinn this time.

Any thoughts on a good reliable bike and from which store.

Thanks
