I currently own a 14 year old Raleigh in excellent shape. The problem is that my arthritis makes any excursion over 7 or 8 miles painful to my wrists, elbows, and shoulders and I think that the rigid frame has something to do with that.
I don’t do hard core riding down mountains, insead I like to ride the Perkiomen Trail in Pennsylvania because it is mostly flat. However, there are parts of it that are gravel topped and I think the slight but steady vibration makes my arms sore after a 30 mile jaunt. I have handlebar ends that help me ride more upright but that by itself doesn’t alleviate the pain.
I have seen where bikes are now made with shock absorbing front forks and a rear shock too. I am this close to buying one but the clerk at a bike shop told me that there aren’t any American bicycle manufacturers around. I prefer to purchase American made goods for economic reasons.
Is it a fact that there aren’t any American bicycle manufacturers today?

I’m interested in getting into the sport of mountain biking but I don’t have the most athletic figure ( 5′ 10″, 275lbs). I was wondering if any manufactures made specific bikes for people of my stature and if so how much cash would i be looking at spending.

I’ll be in Paradise Valley for Thanksgiving ’08 and wanted to explore some of the trails out there. Are there local trails with good variety of riding styles nearby? Looking for single tracks, decent climbs, technical descents and all around exciting fun trails — no fire roads please. I’d be interested in tagging along if anyone was planning on riding at that time.

So… there’s the Fox face lookin’ logo, plus the fox tail logo, perhaps others. Is one logo more [or specifically] identified with mountain biking vs dirt bikes and motor vehicle use? Thanks!

I’m looking for a new bike because my old one was stolen from my shed. But all the mountain bikes for women i’ve seen that are of decent quality are ugly too. It needs to have suspension and withstand ALOT of wear and tear. Any suggestions?
