A prefferable Mountain Bike for hilly roads & Dirt Roads.?

Question

I have a Honda Racing Bicycle, and I've looked into a 26" Huffy Ignite, But i think some people would think that they have good bikes so go ahead and answer =)

Answer 1

A Huffy is a great bike, heavy and bullet proof, but I wouldn't recommend it simply because it has a generic frame:  Meaning, on larger bikes you're stretched out if the frame is big enough, or to make it fit, you have to raise the seat way up until you're leaning over the handlebars, neither safe or comfortable.  

You should spend the money and go to a bike shop to get properly fitted for a bike that has low gears, or small gear clusters and chain rings.  Look at Trek, GT, Specialized, Giant, Kona, Marin, Cannondale, Nishiki, and a host of others, but these are "real" mountain bikes and you'll be glad you spent the money.

Department store bikes are great for going to the store, but not for the kind of riding you want to do.
