26" GT Aggressor Mountain Bike?

Wes

I found one of these on Craigslist for $150. Its six years old and rarely used. Im not too up to speed on mountain biking, other than I'm not suppose to get a bike at a department store (seems to be the consensus I'm getting).

How are these bikes?
Is this a decent price for this particular model?

Thanks,

PS, I ride mainly on pavements, pulling my kids in a bike trailer.

The #1 problem I see is - people always buying ATB or off-road bikes when they never go off-road. Get the point? Yeah...if you install some different tires on it, it would ride a lot better on pavement.

But you'll still have those suspension parts chewing up your energy. With every stroke of the pedals, part of your energy is soaked up by suspension parts & not transmitted to the rear wheel.

Different Mountain bike sizes?

I bought a cheap mountain bike a while ago. Decided to ride it the other day. It's a 26 inch men's bike.

I don't know a whole lot about bikes and bought it to exercise once in a while but are there a lot of different sizes of men's bikes? Because when I rode it(and I'm between 6 ft. and 6 ft. 1), it kinda seems small to me. I raised the seat on it but it's almost like I'm riding a kid's bike. I am used to riding the racing bikes so maybe it just feels different.

Are there bigger men's bikes? How big do they go? Am I too tall for the bike I got?

Answer
ed is right 26 is the wheel size. Often low end bikes and mass retailers will quote this as being the size. To get the size of a bike the cc size or center to center would be the center of the bottom bracket to the seatpost. This is called your downtube. If you are six foot, you probably need an 18 inch frame. You can go to this link to find help on what specific bike size you need, and how to measure the size of your bike
