My Bike Thinks That It's a BMW
The wheel is bent in 2 places, the tube blew out, and the rear suspension is shot. Damn my bikes jealousy of my car and wanting to impress me with it's ability to pretend to be a BMW! It's probably more cost effective to buy a new one at this point (so if you have suggestions for a good and kinda cheap but not really light mountain/trail bike I'm listening ) I just thought you guys would get a good chuckle out of this. |

But it's an old frame and it's not like Mongoose frames are known for serious off roading (as clearly evidenced by my bike, which I broke on a pothole at about 20mph) |

Might be worth checking out some of the motobecane models on bikesdirect.com
I picked up a lower end one last year and for the price it totally blew me away. Frame and paint quality is excellent, and virtually all the parts are brand-name. It's stood up great to mild/moderate use so far. |

And in OT only 6 people would see it and then ask for nudes of my sister. It's better for a laugh here. Thats why I put it in general. |

I have a specialized allez bike (not a mountain bike), but I love it. though their mountain bikes climb dangerously close to $10,000 (fuck that, give me a real motorcycle), they got some options under 1 grand.. Can't vouch for the quality.. but it's "kinda cheap" compared to their $9k bikes
