I'm 6'2" with a 35" inseam. I'm planning on going mtn biking/touring with it. I was thinking of taking it with a BOB trailer and going bicycle camping (like the Continental Divide Trail) at some point... but mostly plan to just do routine mtn biking. In other words, I don't need a super-great competition bike. I need one for comfort (for long-distance rides) but also able to ride and keep up on regular mtn bike rides.

What would the best mtn bikes for me be?

    You’re going to want a hardtail if you’ll be pulling a trailer, and definitely front suspension if you’ll be doing long rides, a longer seat post, with either a high rise stem, or a riser bar, or maybe both, after all comfort is the most important part of the trip, and you don’t want your neck and back to be stiff and sore after a good ride, just your legs. Some semi slick continental tires will do you good also. Rocky Mountain Bicycles are the way to go to get a quality ride, hand built in Canada! check them out at http://www.bikes.com

    I would check out the Fisher line up. Their top tubes are a little bit longer which is a lot more comfortable on longer rides, plus they have a longer wheelbase which should help the handling when you are dragging along the BOB trailer.

    Rock on brother man and keep the rubber side down.
