I've decided to start mixing up my rides so that it incorporates both
road and mountain biking. I currently own a Trek 4300 which is a good
general purpose bike but I find the fork, a RST Gila, to be too
squishy for anything other than general street riding. Since I live
near Skyline Drive and Ringwood State Park in NJ I plan on ridding the
trails in that general area. Thus my dilema, should I purchase a new
fork for my 4300 and upgrade components as they wear out or should I
bite the bullet and purchase a full suspension bike? I can't drop a
ton of cash on a new full suspension bike (I've got a mortgage, a baby
and a wife) and the max I can spend on a full suspension bike is 1300
dollars if I can sell the 4300.
Thanks,
Javier
