MTB (mountain bike riders) anyone?

I used to collect MTBs. At one point, I had 13 bikes (a few Specialized and Cannondales) but I rarely found time to ride with my riding buddies.
I sold most of them and now, I only have one (Ellsworth Truth) and one for each family member. Any MTB riders here?

Used to ride regularly (2x a week). But ever since naging very busy sa work, di na nagkaroon ng time magbike. But I still kept my bike (Yeti 575) hoping I'll find time again in the near future.

I have a MTB. It's a mixed unit, but the frame is an old GTS. We bike the lenght of Daang Hari from Aguinaldo to Alabang and back. We also do a Tagaytay - Talisay run once in awhile. Going back up to Tagaytay is the hard part.

^Gusto ko din yan maranasan sir. I'm planning to buy a mtb pero di ko alam pano mamili. Basta ang gusto ko malaking mtb kasi almost 6 nako. Kaso wala akong makitang buo na, kahit 2nd hand pahirapan. I-aassemble daw yung mga malalaking mtb.

Peace out!

Go to Cartimar and check out the bikes there. I'm pretty sure meron para sayo.

Thank you mga sirs. Anu yung 29er? Yun ang dapat nakatatak sa frame di po ba? Punta ako Cartimar sa weekend. Mga surplus ba dun? Wala talaga ako alam masyado sa mtb's. Kasi lugi ako pag nag kotse papunta sa work. 3kms lang. Kaya magbbike nalang ako. Budget ko muna mga 20k. Sa tingin ko may maganda nako makukuha ng mtb.

Peace out!

20K is just about right for a starter bike. As you go deeper and make it into a hobby, that would be the time to upgrade on parts, etc. :D

29er means 29" ang size ng gulong. Yung regular is just 26".

I'm not sure if pasok sa budget mo ang 29er. Pwede siguro pang single speed. Hindi na rin kasi ako updated sa prices ng mga bikes.
