I've been into biking for a few years now, but I've only riden on local trails which aren't anything too special. Most, if not all are primarily for hikers or horses, so the rides aren't too thilling except for a few downhill sections. Now that I'm off to college after this year and plan on going out in either Washingon, Colorado or California, I'm ready to get into some serious mountain biking. I've been looking at a few bikes to get, but since all the big time mountain bike stuff is new to me, I need some help. I've been looking at a few bikes such as the Marin Wolf Ridge and the Specialized Enduro Expert. I've read some reviews raving about each of these bikes, but I'd like to know how they compare, and are they even really that good.
