[QUOTE="Agent2, post: 49107, member: 17"] The hunched over position while riding a mountain bike puts a lot of strain on the shoulder area, so perhaps not best considering the injury you have. Do you plan on riding single track trails, or just hitting bike paths? $300 mountain bikes are scary, nothing like a frame snapping on a jump or a crank breaking while you are pedaling up a hill. As said, Craigslist is your best bet at that price if you want the mountain bike. An old Schwinn beach cruiser can sell for around $100-150. Pre 1980's models were still built in Chicago and will never let you down. Beach cruisers are much easier on the top end of your body. MTBR is a good place for reviews on quality mountain bikes - [URL]http://www.mtbr.com/[/URL] I have a Gary Fisher [URL]http://fisherbikes.com/[/URL] and an Ibex. Ibex sells only from the factory, so no middleman mark up. Good quality bikes, but still about $700 for the base model [URL]http://www.ibexbikes.com/index.html[/URL] [/QUOTE]
