Aluminum or Steel mountain bike from for a heavy guy?
Want to just spend $100 on a bike for fun. Since I am a heavy guy (240 lb), I want a bike that can handle me. I called both bike manufacturers and they say their bikes can support me regardless of the material.
Should I get the
1) Mongoose with all aluminum frame?

or
2) A "Next" bike with steel frame?

You'll be fine on either one. Steel Frames are heavier but more durable. Aluminum Frames are lighter and less durable. Steel Frames have the ability to be 'fixed'. For example if the Frame gets a dent in it, a Steel Frame can have it beaten or pulled out, try to do this with an Aluminum Frame and it will crack/break. Either way, when it comes to Bicycles you get what you pay for, but even a Department Store Bicycle can last a few years. What is important is how well you take care of it. Keep up with all of the maintenance, keep it out of the Weather as much as possible and take it for a ride at least once a month. Just do this and you should be able to keep even a Department Store Bicycle through its warranty. If you do get a Bicycle from Walmart, I suggest getting the 'Next' Steel Frame. I have a 'Next' Steel Frame Mountain Bicycle from Walmart that I got 7 years ago and it still rides fine. Its no where near the quality of my 'Trek' Bicycle from my Local Bicycle Shop but I paid 3 times as much for the 'Trek' than I did for the 'Next'. Like I said you get what you pay for. I also have a 'Mongoose', I love riding and I take excellent care of my Bikes, but its been about 5 years now and my 'Mongoose' is in its last year. Anyway, both are decent Bikes it's just a matter of which one fits both you and your Biking Lifestyle better. Happy riding, have fun and be safe, lol. =]
