Hey Andrea R, I live in Bern, and would be interested in going mountain biking.  I live near Gurten, so I have been exploring the trails around there, and there is some interesting and challenging single track. I'm an intermediate rider.  Let me know if your still interested in going biking.

Hello Jay! of course I am still interested.

I ll be away this week .. let's try to arrange a late afternoon outing next week!

Cheers

a.

Next week sounds good, we'll figure it out then!

Hi guys,

if you two are profis I could use a good piece of advice what kind of mountain bike I should get for myself :) ok?

hey.. when are you guys going??? i'm in if the date is good for me!!!

let me know.

I'm still interested, Andrea or Caleb let me know if your up for some riding near Gurten.  Thursday afternoon could work for me.  I've got my hardtail ready to go!

Goran: I am definitely not an expert or professional!  I'm just a guy who likes to ride around occasionally.  And i shipped my bike here from the States, so I can't even recommend a good brand sadly.

jay.. not as lucky as you to have days off :) lol.. wish i did then i'd ride with you :) but gotta work and can't ride. but maybe on Sunday will be heading to Zurich for some pumptrack and dirt jumping riding if you're free. i'll keep you updated.

goran... what kind of biking do you want to do? i'm not an expert.. but i have a friend whose into this hardcore.. so i can ask for you.. but what do you want to do?

thanks guys for the replies. i would like to buy a bike ready for some serious easy mountain tours (full suspension, good frame, deore XT, SLX or above...). no race. caleb.. please ask that friend of yourse whether he could recommend something at reasonable price... as soon as i get a bike see you guys on the track ;)

funny Goran!! we are in Swiss right? is anything reasonably priced? i see no name brands for CHF500 already. you ok with 1500-5000?

full suspension as in?? dual or just front?

:) you´re right Caleb. here is almost nothing reasonably priced. i could survive the price up to 2500. do you think it is possible to find something branded and fairly good that that price? everything above it is getting too crazy... :/

dual full suspension with lock out would be great. do I ask too much for that price ? :)))

yeah i think so :) let me ask him some ideas for you.. will get back to you here or next meeting for drinks

thanks caleb :) i won´t be at the next meeting in Bern but I´ll certainly meet you in 2 weeks...or any time here :)

hey Goran..my friend said for a good price.. a good bike is Kona

kona has good product for a reasonable price.
