Re: Hummer Mountain Bike
Mountain Bikes are like religion, everyone thinks theirs is the best. There are many brands and each brand sells Econo Boxes and Corvettes with a ton of in-between models. My advice would be to find a Local Bike shop, A real bike shop not Wal-Mart or Sports Athority and take a few bikes out for a spin and then let your ass and wallet make your decision. Buying from a REAL SHOP will insure the bike is properly set up for you and was put together correctly. In addition you will have a place to buy upgrades get service when necessary as well as make some new friends to ride with. As for the Hummer Bike...If you do buy it, dont take it off road! It's kinda like a Jeep in that it looks capable but if you do it you'll break something, Could be the bike, you or both and when you are on a mountain bike it could be your neck that gets broken

Re: Hummer Mountain Bike
I thought there were two versions of the Hummer mountain bike, a cheap one that was sold by Sam's Club and a *real* version sold through the dealerships?
Anyway to tell the difference if there is one?
I've got a Haro Vector hardtail and have ridden it pretty much in the stock set-up since 95'. The only additions are a pair of Kevlar combo tires that do well on the street and a front bar set up with a little more lift.
This time of year is a great time to shop at bike shops, most are having clearance sales depending on your part of the country and pulling in holiday inventory.

Having one didn't make you sound like a fairy, but saying "prancing" did.

Re: Hummer Mountain Bike
The bike isn't that bad for a non-serious rider....especially if you get one as a door prize at a Hummer Happening!
I did have to buy the bike bag, kickstand, and folding pedals for it though. |
