I don't think you will have much fun on Mt. Snow with that Schwinn.

who said I was anti Schwinn? My other bike is a 2002 Scwhinn Moab Hard tail, great bike! That all said I would stay away from Schwinn these days. They have only been selling really low end bikes at places like walmart and Costco for the past several years. From what I understand due to some patent issues with Specialized, Scwhinn only sells there high end stuff outside of the US...............I hate Specialized!

Huffy bought them a few years ago. I think that's all you really need to know.

Although I ride a Trek, I really like Specialized's geometry. I had a couple of Stumpjumper M2's back in the 90's, rode real well.

If looking for a FS, either plan on spending $1200+ or find yourself a garage queen that hasn't been enjoyed properly.
