i'm planning on getting a new bike this summer (there's some pretty sick trails here in ottawa) and i was looking into iron horse since work gives some wicked iron horse prodeals. the tricky part is deciding which to get, so this is where you come into play. i like to ride all types of offroad trails, but i need something that'll also hold up for city riding.

i was checkin out the warrior pro and maverick pro models, so far. good? bad? what are your recommendations? i'm looking for something that retails around a grand or so. if not, at least name some parts i should keep in mind come decision time.

thanks,
justin

I was looking into them before i bought my specialized and they seem pretty solid.

If you get the deal on it through Sports check then get the sweetest one you can with the hookup :)

yeah i just dont trust the iron hosre name... just becasue i know they make some real low low end bikes

i'm more of a specialized or devinci man myself. if you are gonna be hucking you want a real solid frame and i just dont know if iron horse is pumping them out. i could be very wrong though
