Hey there all. Been a member for a while but haven't posted.
At the moment I'm looking into getting a new XC bike to replace my old Mongoose Pro. So far I have only test ridden a few bits but haven't seen much.
But from what I have seen I'm a little torn between 2 bikes, but I haven't taken them out for a decent demo just yet, but I was hoping to get some opinions on them.
I'm still unsure as to go for Hard tail or dualy.
in the Hard tale corner I have been given a good price on a 07 Avanti competitor

Leading in the Dualy is the Specialized FSRxc Expert
http://www.lifecycles.net.au/cms/in...facturer_id=0&option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=26
Has anyone taken either for a decent ride?
Bike will be used for:
Commuting to and from work (a few decent hills)
occasional attacking of stairs/small urban stuff
long rides through the fire trails.
bit of jumpy stuff I come across on the way back down.
Thanks
Olie.
