I should have asked on ODT before I bought a mountain bike.

Just gonna leave this here so you guys can make fun of it.

Also any recommendations on a quality bike would be great.

I'll talk to my son when he gets home from school - he eats, sleeps, and dreams about bikes right now...

What's wrong with the one you have and what's your budget?

Get a Specialized Rock Hopper.

I don't know but I figured there must be something wrong with it since I bought it.

I spent around 350 and I'm not sure how much I should have to spend to get a quality bike. I know nothing about them.

Maybe this is a good enough bike I am just not sure.

Get a Specialized Rock Hopper.

Can you recommend one? I will give this one to my dad if needed.

My first thought...

No way I'm paying 3 4 or 5 grand for a bike though. I'm not that serious about riding a bike. I'm just going to be riding the neighborhood to lose a little weight.

Nashbar generally doesn't carry junk.

Not top of the line, but not walmart either.

Local bike shops have them. Since they are not made in China, big box retailers won't have them.
