I'd die. And I'm looking at getting a giant mortgage (!) so I don't think I can afford a motorbike. And I'm not from Oamaru, I'm a civilised person.
With having NT in your location gimp, well your unable to say civilised as well.
It's a temporary thing.
9 days until I fly back to Brisbane c'monnnnnnnnnnnnn
I love MTB'ing I have a cheap 700$ GT bike with front shocks only.
it does fine for creaters of the moon and huka falls up here in taupo. No its not high end and no I wont break world records in it but it gets me outside and keeps me (semi)fit.
thats my aim. To stay fit.
I think under that 1k price range is just fine! if I had known that I was going to ride as much as I do I would have spent more, but you can easy get carried away with MT bikes (read: 3-15k)
That's more like it. This thread was getting a bit, well, gay.

Dont muck around Gimp. Get the tried and tested Raleigh 20 with a bit of modern stuff added. Cant go wrong and spares are readily available.

Just bought one of these, 29er is the way to go.
If 29" works for midgets (175cm) I'll just steal Tussock's bike...
Get a GT Hardtail with some decent forks and you'll be fine.
Something like this will see you right
