    Hey there -

    Just had my Schwinn Mesa GS stolen 🙁 and the good news is it was insured. 🙂

    I need to find a bike that has similar features, and I'm interested in your recommendations. Any advice you offer would be great. I ride a 15", so something around that size would be ideal. So far I've looked at:
    Avanti Ridge Rider
    Giant Yukon
    Apollo Apex

    ...And I'm not knowledgable to know what's better for me. I ride 90% inner-city streets and tracks, with the occasional trail ride, so I'm not a really demanding MTB rider!

    Full specs of the bike that was nicked are available at: LINK

    Main Specs:
    FORK: Answer / Manitou SIX w/ Reverse Arch Aluminum lowers, Coil / MCU spring, pre-load adjust, Microlube grease port and mini-boots, 100mm travel.
    WHEELS: Double Wall Rims
    REAR DERAILLER: Deore

    The bike was $800, but the insurer is more interested that I get a bike that I'm happy with and that has similar features.

    Thanks in advance,

    Sydneytim
