Choosing a Mountain Bike

The question that often appears in my mind at the time wanted to have a MTB (Mountain Bike) is “what will be the best bike I buy??”. After searching for information, buy some magazines my bike more confused because so many brands on offer. With a price range that is very far I rate very similar that I like? Until the most expensive prices were largely determined by the strength and the ability of a bike with a variety of materials used.

Another question then arises, what if I was not satisfied with the bike I have? Will I be able to easily increase (upgrade) with new components easily? The more confused when he learned the technology development at a very fast bike. Call it the first brake with Cantilever (V-brakes) have changed to the disc (disc brakes); or front forks (forks) which currently has an average use of suspension; not rigid like the old bike. Or also component “drive train” (another term bicycle gear) is very fast progress. One last question: “if I buy a bike package (full bike) did cost less? What about the development of increasingly sophisticated technology ….? Did I make a better bike assembly (custom) only?

In my observations do, through a survey on the internet, read magazines and ask friends who have long engaged in the bicycle world I finally concluded that a great many improvements in the bicycle world. Among them are materials, components and suspension. At first I studied the “frame”; was the frame material is basically the same by all manufacturers. Price range is given by the manufacturer but with form and function almost the same. Other components are also nearly the same. Frame USD price range.$ 50 to $ 3000 makes me want to know more and learn it. After a long struggle with the data and the thoughts in my mind I finally concluded that to build a bicycle assembly, or “custom” There are 4 things to consider: 1) To what this bike would I use? 2) How much money will I spend? 3) How long will I get? and 4) What color do I want?
