Hi, first thanks to everyone. I have learned so much on this board! I currently have a Trek 7.2fx wsd which I love. I use it as a commuter, do some road riding and I like to ride the Katy Trail. (Crushed limestone) so this bike really works for me, the casual biker. I would like to try mountain biking. Oh, I don't want to do any jumps and ride along logs, just ride some trails off road. Nothing extreme.
I've been looking around this forum and other sites. I'm thinking that the hardtail would be a good choice for me. Any suggestions? (Budget is a consideration since I don't know how much I will be doing this, and if I absolutely love it, I'm not opposed to upgrading in a year) So what would be a good entry level bike for me? I'm not really sure what I should be looking for, and I do want to enjoy the ride and not have the bike fall apart in a year.
This bike would be strictly off-road. I am not interested in putting it on the road or paved/gravel bike paths. Thanks in advance!
