Mountain bike shopping

Try as many bikes as you can get your hands on. Jamis, Giant, and Santa Cruz also have some bikes worth looking at--just to name a few. Santa Cruz has just partnered with the woman behind their "Juliana" model (the bike that I have) for a new line of bikes called Juliana.

You guys might consider riding the White Rim Trail in Utah's Canyonlands National Park. There are some tour companies that offer 3 and 4 days supported tours.

Oh! How exciting! I too, am looking for a new mtn bike, and because of rave reviews, think I will buy the Cannondale Scalpel 29er.(I already own a couple of 26" wheel bikes) Have fun figuring out what you'd like, that's always lots of fun!

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE my Scalpel 1! It is, however a 29er.

You may also want to look at some of the offerings available now in 650b/27.5. I've seen some good reviews on these as well.

I can not find a Jamis or santa Cruz dealer close by that has anything in my size to test ride I really was a full suspension but can only afford a hardtail on my budget. But, living in MI I think a decently outfitted HT will be fine for our terrain.

I will be looking for used bikes as well.

I am having so much fun shopping and test riding.
