hint on MT bikes is better ones have quick release hubs and seat posts
big box bikes have nuts
next al rims and hubs not steel/chrome
then pick it up lite bikes are the better ones
then name brands schwinn is moderate decent china built best of the big box bikes
huffy kent next Pacific are china JUNK avoid them
trek fisher specialized iron horse giant even their cheap bikes are mid range and up
china built is the bottom end then Tia-wan then jap then usa or major euro italy best of all
my old gary fisher MT weights less then most road race stile bikes at 1500 new
I have 40+10 for spokes/truing+ 10 for the rear derailleur hanger that killed the spokes and 10 for rock shock judy from a bent frame bike in it 70 total for a 24 lbs MT bike
a quality bike with a minor problem is a good buy
