Im happy to share that I bought a beautiful Dark Blue Firefox Dart 2.6 Mountain Bike on Saturday. 6 gears.
Also got a nice firefox helmet for safety and a nice gel loaded seat cover for additional comfort.
Beautiful bike - looks really nice and is fun to ride - the main idea being to lose some weight and get fit.
Only thing is that I need mudguards (front and rear) which they didnt have in stock.
will post pictures soon.

shankar.balan · 27th July 2009, 10:42

you would be surprised how expensive the new generation MTB and ATB Indian bicycles are!
While these Indian bikes are very nice, I personally thought it better to go for a basic imported 6 gear bike from firefox.
steel frame, front and rear shox, 6 gear (shimano), compass bell, good quality lock, gel seat and helmet - about 10 grand in all.

Hey, it appears that we share similar tastes. I also own a Honda Eterno as well as a Fiat Palio, except that my Palio is 1.9LD And your post showed up when i was doing a research for the Hercules Ryder. Anyways, do share your review about the Hercules Ryder or provide me a link thereof. I am planning to buy one myself.
