Bob

I am looking for a new mountain bike to use both for pretty steep and rocky trail riding, as well as riding to work. Which of these bikes is a better deal? They are all new from local shops.

Gary Fisher Wahoo Disc, $599.99

Specialized Rockhopper, $579.99

2008 Trek 4500, $430

2009 Trek 4500 $500


Thanks in advance for the help!

Answer
I would narrow it down to the Gary Fisher Wahoo and the Specialized Rockhopper. Then I would ride them at your local shop to see which fits best. I had a tough decision between a Cannondale Prophet and a Specialized Rockhopper. The Cannondale just spoke to me when I rode it. The cockpit of the bike felt more comfortable to me. Some of the employees there found the Specialized to have a more comfortable fit. It is all individual preference. Every time I choose a bike, bike part or accessory, I go to www.mtbr.com. There are reviews on anything bike related that you can imagine. Real people with real experiences. It took me two days to choose a helmet online and I read a ton of reviews on this site that really help me make up my mind on the matter. You gotta love your bike or it won't love you back :)

im just getting started mountain biking and i was wondering if the ellsworth truth was a good bike?

Answer
Heck yeah the Ellsworth Truth is a good bike! Check out reviews online (mtbr.com bicycling.com etc), you'll see how Ellsworth riders love thier bikes.

Ellsworth are not cheap though, they cost a bit more than your average mountain bike. They are serious bikes and if you can afford it, why not? Just save some of that money for bike gear like a good helmet (never go cheap on head protection), padded bike shorts, gloves, socks and shoes.

Good luck, stay safe and have fun.
