    Recommend a mountain bike for a tall person?

    I'd get a steel frame. Steel is real, and if you snap a chainstay, it can be welded.

    Would you buy a 720P HDTV if you didnt plan on using it with a Blu Ray player and

    I bought a 1080i HDTV/monitor, and rarely watch satellite TV on it. It's mainly my computer monitor, and the occasional DVD (older movies...new ones suck). It kicks @ss for photo editing.

    What do I Look for In a Trail Bike?

    Define trail. You mean like hike & bike, or the singletrack on Mary's Loop in Fruita? Since it sounds like ya'll have never ridden before, I'd suggest comfort'hybrid bikes. You ride in a more comfortable upright position, and some come equipped with front suspension (nothing heavy-duty, but...

    Celebrity's number...?

    Do you know what would happen to you, if this was true? One of these people, the M&Ms guy probably, would have your kneecaps removed with a claw hammer. At least, that's what I'd do for giving out my phone #. You're lucky you're just a poser.

    Bike size - 11 year old boy?

    You're talking wheel size. There is no 22" that I know of. And I've seen big kids, 6' plus, riding 20 bikes. Looks funny, and they'll probably blow their knees out. You go by frame size. You don't give his height or inseam, though. I'm 5'6" and ride a 16" frame on a 26" (wheel size, remember)...
