Choosing first womens mountain bike

GardenGeek · 2017-11-10 18:26:37

I haven't cycled much for years and have never bought a bike so need some help to buy a tough women's mountain bike for beginners DP and I like going on long walks and thought bikes might be fun. We usually go to woods, tarmac tracks, tow paths, bridleways, fields etc. I recently found the Marin Wildcat 3 online (the green and black one attached) which looks beautiful, I just love the colours. Its so shallow but my heart wants it. I also saw the Giant/Liv Tempt 3 in person; it is the same price and it looks really sturdy and with grippy wheels which I need; and about what I imagine the proportions of my bike should be like. Any tips on what I should be looking for would be really appreciated, or if you have a Marin or Giant/ Liv, or if you just go on random bike rides or mountain bike it would be great to hear your experiences. Thanks
