Boy no. 2 wants to move on from his all-purpose bike to an MTB to be able to hit the gnarly berms or whatever with his big bro, so I'm looking for a 24" wheel MTB, hydraulic discs, and ideally rigid forks to keep the weight down (if not, then anything other than basic coil-sprung sus forks).
I'm not flush enough for the fancy Islabikes Creig but want to find something that's not fashioned from pig iron. I was looking at the Orbea MX24 or Vitus Nucleus or something similar: light enough, with decent enough parts.
Does anyone have something that might fit the bill? It is for Christmas...
