what is the best hardtail?

[davebee]

I am looking for a new hardtail frame for when funds allow.
I have been considering:
Specialised S-works
Kona Kula Primo
Klein Attitude


What are peoples thoughts?

or should I save up and buy a full susser? (I have never ridden full sus)

See if you can get a full-suss demo bike from your LBS, then decide if like it. For me, full-suss all the way, its not even a question!

Ride em all. Bikes in the same price range are often times similarlly speced. Some give and take in different areas, but most represent the same value.

I personally love FS. Once you ride it, ya dont go back. That's bad for the wallet , tho

Visit the LBSs ride all those bikes, figure out which shop and bike combo ya like more, and go for it.

TREK

I am not really a Trek fan to be honest. Most of their stuff seems overpriced and under specced compared to what other companies have to offer. Also everybpdy has Trek's and I would like something a little bit rarer. Still very tempted by that NRS frame though!
