Awesome advice! Thanks for the info from everyone.
I guess I should put myself more into the category of XC than DH (in terms of my current interests). More likely to do DH on my unicycle than a bike haha. That is FUN stuff! Well I went in again today and looked at some bikes... I guess it sounds like a really just need to try riding some stuff to see what I like best? Also - two bikes that interest me in particular are a Devinci and a RockyMountain... the bikes have the same forks and similar components (same brands) but the Devinci has the newer or upgraded versions of the same components and lockout on the fork... The prices are the same. I assume if rideability was not a factor (or they both felt great), that I should choose the Devinci because of the better components for the same price? Anyways I'll have to keep looking and try out some bikes. Thanks! Chris

I'm with Tony on everything he said, although I don't have as many bikes as he does.
 For XC duty I ride a Gary Fisher and for everything else I ride a Rocky Mountain Slayer, more of an All Mountian bike but it takes everything I have ever dished at it including a step down that I WAY overshot the transition on! I can ride the RM for XC duty but I have to change tires, it's amazing how much of a difference a tire change can make. And since we are posting pictures.. lol

If it doesn't have an engine, I don't have it!

Another place to visit is nsmb.com. Obviously more slanted to those of us on the West coast here, but still has some great stuff.
This reminds me that I need to get out for a ride. Kind of spoiled here. I look from living room window to some of the best trails mother nature (and trailbuilders) have given us. An hour and a half and I've got one great lap of the mountain in. Just to get spat out a quick two minute ride back to the house.

The last bike I owned was in grade 8 I think. Was < $100 from K-mart. I recall nerding it up in the computer room at school one day and heard from someone that my bike had been taken from the racks. I guess they were riding it INTO the school wall but the tire was so bent when I rode it the wheel rubbed the brakes a few times with each revolution.
I know this helps you out Chris otherwise I'd never intrude on your post. Just not my style =)
