See if you can get a full-suss demo bike from your LBS, then decide if like it. For me, full-suss all the way, its not even a question! |

Re: what is the best hardtail?
Ride em all. Bikes in the same price range are often times similarlly speced. Some give and take in different areas, but most represent the same value.
I personally love FS. Once you ride it, ya dont go back. That's bad for the wallet , tho  Visit the LBSs ride all those bikes, figure out which shop and bike combo ya like more, and go for it.

I am not really a Trek fan to be honest. Most of their stuff seems overpriced and under specced compared to what other companies have to offer. Also everybpdy has Trek's and I would like something a little bit rarer. Still very tempted by that NRS frame though! |
