New MTB purchase question
Hey all, trying to get into mountain biking in Phoenix/Glendale area. I haven't ridden for a while so forgot a lot of bike info..
is this a good bike strictly on value/specs ?

Buying a bike strictly on value/ spec. for most people is a bad idea. Is the bike the best size for you? Do you like the reach on the bike? Do you like the way that it rides (angles/ dimensions for you)? I would recommend finding a bike that you like the way that it rides, than solely on value/ spec.
