2006 Holiday Gift Guide for Mountain Bikers

Jason MitchellBy Jason MitchellNovember 1, 2006No Comments3 Mins Read

mountain bike holiday gift guide 2006Christmas comes but once a year and what a great time to give that special mountain biker on your list something they have been dreaming of. I know a new tie, or some new socks are spiffy gifts, but a dedicated mountain biker has a lot on his or her mind around this time of year. “I wonder if he’ll remember that I really wanted those Crank Bros Smarty pedals,” she ponders. “Hmmm… I wonder if she’ll ever understand that I just can’t wear anything but short bike socks every day,” he thinks as he slips his cycling sock-clad feet into his Florshiem loafers.

I know what I’d like for Christmas and I’m sure you’ve got your lists too, but here’s my stab at the top gifts for any mountain biker on your list. This list spans everything from a $2200 frame to a $6 pair of socks to cover spendthrift to frugal.

Intense 6.6 Bike Frame with Fox DHX Air Shock
One of the most versatile all-mountain long-travel mountain bike frames on the planet. If Santa’s bringing it, it might arrive with dirt on the chainstays.

RockShox Lyrik 2-Step Fork
