@ayush
a bike does neccessarily have to have disc brakes.....trust me...you can stop just as fast with a set of good pad brakes..
i prefer the second bike you mentioned..purely because of looks...spec wise they are pretty much the same bike.
as for my stinky supreme...
thats not tooo much

Really you think 3999$ is affordable? Is it only for Americans or for Australians too? Do avg middle class guys actually afford these? 
And do you think the placement of the mudgaurds is apt in the latter bike? And the latter one has Canti Lever brakes..I suppose those are a bit better right?
Which bike do you ride currently?

i definately do not think that 3999 is affordable and any middle class joe would certainly not be able to afford it lol its just a dream bike for me...
i do think the mudguards are a little out of place on that second bike...but im sure it will be easy to remove them.
currently i dont own a bike, i just borrow one of my mates...hes got about 6 or 7 top bikes....he races croos country and does freeride... i cant afford my own bike at the moment..and especially niot after i buy this camera i want..but after i get the camera i will go out alot more with my friend and shoot some good footage

Hmm..actually I was curious about this. Are bikes really unaffordable for you australians? And what abt Americans?
Another thing.. On the 2nd bike the tires a lil better for city riding right? (I'm buying a MTB coz the roads here are pathetic  )

it all depends on the type of bike you want.
if you want to do some serious downhill MTBing then you would opt for the kona stinky. or the specialized demo 9 for around 6000AUD
if you want more of an overall freeride bike it would be around 500AUD to 2000AUD.
if you just want a recreational bike then you would probably get a low end dual suspension for under 500AUD.
i would like to get a medium range hardtail with discs and around 4 to 5 inches of front travel. it would set me back around 1000AUD to 1500AUD.
most people will buy a low end MTB for under 200AUD.
the suspension should even out the bumps in the road... if the roads are quite bumpy you might want to invest in some wider tyres and maybe puncture resistant tubes (around 5 dollars each)

hmm..do we get these here? I dunno... Actually the 1st bike’s tyres were thicker right? And abt the mudguard I can’t remove it as how will I ride in rain then? I will get splattered
It seems bikes are pretty expensive for you guys When you say 200AD..how much would the monthly family income be like?
