So after working for the summer and paying for an MCAT, road racing fees, and next semester books I am hoping to have around 1500 ( maybe more) left for an xc race bike..(just in time for the college season) I want foremost durability out of my bike and second performance/weight. I want a full suspension. Right now I am looking hard at the NRS1. Also have thought about a specialized stumpjumper....even if it is a little heavy it sounds like a decent all rounder and still raceable.....anyways...have also looked at the tomac revolver. have looked at the cannodale scalpel and trek fuel but don't really think I like them...thought about a yeti and spyder but too expensive..anyways you guys have any comments or suggestions?
