Hello everyone!
I am looking to get into MB life ( 52 yrs old, 250 lbs, 6'2 from Cranford)...with so many options tough to decide on bike. Hard Tail? Full Suspension?
Not looking to do jumps or anything extreme. Maybe meet some new people that enjoy nature and exercise.
I have been looking on FB market place:
Hardtails: Trek Roscoe 7 XL frame $1,000Cannondale XL 29'r XL frame $800
Full Suspension: Specialized Status $160 S 5 $2200
Any advice would be appreciated!

They are affordable, lightweight, and efficient for pedaling. Ideal for smoother trails and cross-country riding, they are not designed for extreme jumps or downhill riding. Full suspension mountain bikes have both front and rear suspension, offering better comfort and traction on rough terrain. They are more expensive and heavier than hardtails but excel in handling challenging trails. Based on your preferences, a hardtail mountain bike like the Trek Roscoe 7 or Cannondale XL 29'r could be a suitable choice. Ensure the bike fits your height and weight by trying it out or checking its specifications.
