A true mountain bike -- like Trek's Liquid series -- or Cannondale's Prophet line of bikes.

Thanks!

Would a hard tail do you?, been meaning to do a MTB for a long time coz i'm an ex hard core cyclist myself, mind i have to say thats not a true MTB a true one has no suspension like mine :o).......Steve

A hard tail would be great, Steve. Fantastic. Full suspension would be great, too. Either or both.

And I've yet to see anyone model a biking helmet.

I'm newly come to MTB. Over the last 7 months, it's sort of turned into an obsession. I don't have any built-in prejudices as to bikes -- I'm too new for that. But I've quickly found out that many riders tend to hold strong opinions.

Hardtail vs. full suspension -- gears vs. singlespeed -- clipless pedals vs. platforms........on and on.

But if there's a helmet model and a MTB model available, then I'll be able to combine two obsessions into one -- 3D and mountain biking.

And yes -- I'd recommend taking up the MTB. It's not just good exercise -- which was my reason for starting with it initially. It's just plain FUN. And a way for me to do something other than sit in front of a PC all day long.

Thank you very much for responding to this post, Steve. It's yet another reason to be sold on Poserworld.
