Sorry for not being more accurate, I previuosly had Norco Charger 2002 model. I ride XC and Fire Trails and have been looking at the following bikes:
Norco - Rampage $1,899
Norco - Sasquatch $1,499
Trek - 6700 $1,899
Scott - Racing Elite $1,895
Giant - XtC 2 $1,799
Kona Caldera $1,699
Merida Matt Special Addition Diamnond Back $2,000
Jamis Dikota AL $1,599
Giant Rainier $1,599
Specialized Rockhopper $2,000
I am looking for a hard tail, and I am confused by all the makes out there at the moment especially the decision on buying an old model against a new model.
Hope you can help, thanks for responding, I am just getting the feeling that the bike shops just want to get rid of their old bikes.(which is obviously true, but it does not help)
