Hello guys!

My first thread in the bicycle segment. I am seriously thinking of buying a bicycle. I had a passion for mountain bikes when in school. But the cycles were pathetic back then. I had a 18 speed Hamilton Storm. It was damaged due to off-roading attempts. That was the best I could go for back then. I wheelied it and stoppied it and it just did not perform well. The axles suffered. The brakes were pathetic. The tyres sucked. Back then my dream bike was Highlander Bullfighter.

I want to go for a good mountain bike. It should have front suspension.Rear suspension welcome. It should be able to take some good off road terrain. I have a hill nearby my home so thinking of taking it there. I am thinking of wheelies and stoppies. Just want to relive my teenage dream! Budget Rs. 20k. Something like Firefox Bad attitude.

Cheers.

Hey Nitro,

Welcome to the world of 0Bhp
Have a look at The below forum for a detailed explanation on how to select your bike :
BikesZone - Cycling • View topic - Want to buy a bike? READ THIS FIRST

And rather than firefox have a keen look at Cannondale, Bianchi, Merida, BTwin etc.

Below is a website to help you with the international brands available in India:

^Thanks a lot!
I have seen that forum already. My bike was a downhill hardtail.

I would be grateful if anyone can mention any special brand in this range. Btw I have ridden a Btwin Rockrider 6.3 in France.
