Hi
I'm currently riding a 2005 Specialized Hardrock rigid. This was my
starter bike but now I'd like to get something better. I have about £700
to spend but there is a bewildering array of bikes and I'd appreciate
some ideas about what to get.
One question that bothers me is whether I should get a suspension fork.
I spend most of my time on forest dirt tracks and have never really felt
uncomfortable with the rigid fork. I also have to ride about an hour on
the tarmac to get to the woods so the rigid fork comes in handy there
too. On the other hand, I'm tempted by the possibililty that my riding
will be more fun with front suspension so I'm not sure either way...
The Hardrock rigid is 29.2lbs so I'd like something the same or lighter,
certainly not heavier. I'd like something with hydraulic disc brakes and
the best components for the price range.
Any comments appreciated.
