So i have finally finished my degree and have time to seriously get outdoors. past few days have been on the beach, but i want to ride.
so im looking to get a 2011 bike. Not really sure what im after. Most of it will be hardpacked riding. Im heading bush next year to work. So mainly country trails dirt/bitumen/ not many rocks. BUt im also wanting to buy a decent bike that i can justify fixing, upgrading and so on.
so looking at a few models, feel free to mention others.
Giant XTC
Giant XTC 2 29er (some reviews about issues with breaks?)
Specialized Rockhopper Comp.
Will be after a 21" and wanting to stay under $1800, because i need to buy lights and shoes.
