Hi,
I've been offroading on my cheapo hardtail for a about 18months now and after wearing out most of
the parts I'm thinking its time to maybe upgrade.
I ride about 60 (40 onroad, 20 offroad) miles a week and will also be adding a further daily 6 mile
commute to my cycling in June. Oh yes I'm 6 foot 6 and weight 220 pounds (mostly my fat head!
<chuckle>)
I like the look of the Specialized rockhopper but worry that I am paying too much for what I use it
for. Perhaps I'm thinking I should go for another low-end hardtail (250/300 quid)?.
Could anyone comment on its value for money? and how long I could expect the parts to last before I
replace them.
