Ive been mountain biking for three months now and I think it's a fun sports. We always go to Golden Gate Park here in San Francisco for offroad trails. The brand of bikes that I own are Specialized & Trek. What are the good brand of bikes there?

gulliver,

Balak ko pa lang kaya I need some body to help me how to start. Like yung mga good bikes, at saan pwede bumili. Magandang exercised yan.

I bought once sa PIER area it cost me 4K lang kala ko ok na kasi ang ganda ng porma may shock pa sa harap at sa frame.. pero ang daming maluwag after few months.

pj, cale,

the US has some of the best and most scenic bike trails in the world, lucky you! maybe someday...

nightrock,

doon sa previous thread (pickup+mountain bike owners..) sa "garage", a number of stores were mentioned and worth checking out. give them a look-see and you'll probably see a whole range of bikes to choose from to suit your budget, preferences etc. i know my own bike is not exceptional, but it certainly looks like it will take some serious beating before masira siya :D

nightrock,

para hindi sayang yung info sa isang thread, ito yung lumabas mga possible shops for you to explore:

Crossings (Banawe)
Cycle Shop (SM Mega & Alabang Town Center)
Extreme Mountain Bikes (Timog near Quezon Ave. intersection)
Velo (in Cartimar, exact location yet unknown)
_____ (in Marikina somewhere!)

Maganda ba yung mga GT? Cycle Shop sells those too but closer to 12K ata...
