    I am looking for a beater mountain bike to ride in the winter. Frame size around 17" (I'm 5' 10"). Anyone have anything?

    My price range is Free to $200.

    Thanks,
    Chad

    maybe... let me check with my dad. If I do, it is yours for the price of picking it up from plymouth.

    if you want, $20 for mine. Its locked up outside in the cold and snow... I think the gears need fixing but still works. Brakes and tires are good... Pm if interested.

    Hey guys, thanks for the responses. I am potentially interested in either. Can you give me some details on the bikes? Brand? Size?

    Sorry dude. Hmm... My bike is still covered with snow with hundreds of other student's bikes on campus. Let me go dig it out and get back to you .

    I have an old Mongoose D60R, it's a full-suspension mtn bike, it had decent components for the time, about 1998 I think.

    I'd want $50 for it. I just need to switch the rear tire, it has a smooth tire on it now because I was using it with the bike trainer.

    I'll go take a picture of it.

    Look around at some local bike shops. A lot of places carry used brand name bikes.

    One on One, off of Washington in the warehouse district has a bunch of bikes in their basement. Anything from $100-$4000 in their basement on consignment/trade in/etc.

    I don't want to start a pretentious bike argument, but I would highly recommend a brand name bike (I have had great luck with Giant and a used one could be had for that price).
