I am looking to get into mountain biking- I want a bike that can take some jumps/falls/damage and am looking into used due to the affordability. I am talking to the owner of this bike and he is willing to give it to me for $430- can I get some professional advice? I guess you could say I want a rock hopper. I am 6'2, 220 pounds (have lost about 100 pounds so far) 17 years old.
