I'm looking for suggestions on a future purchasing decision... I'm looking for a decent new mountain bike (you know--the "Stumpjumper" variety). But here's the kicker--I want something in the UNDER $300.00 range. What I mean by "decent" is this: The frame: Should have forged, brazed-on dropouts. Other appropriate braze-ons like water-bottle bosses and derailleur mount. Chrome-moly steel, of course. The components: Decent quality--Suntour, Shimano, Dia-Compe. Wheels: Alloy, of any decent quality. What's most important is frame integrity, since I can upgrade components later, if absolutely necessary. Please mail your comments/suggestions to me. Thanx....
