Why not a Specialized Rockhopper or similar Trek? You'd get a local bike shop for support and 1x12 gearing, better fork (I think). |
Ludwig Boltzmann, who spent much of his life studying statistical mechanics, died in 1906, by his own hand, Paul Bhranfest, carrying on the work, died similarly in 1933, Now it is our turn to study statistical mechanics...
| When I was shopping, almost two years ago, I was looking at cross-country and trail hardtails. The hardtails were generally spec'd with much better components and that was important to me. I went with a trail bike (Trek Roscoe) but I have it set up more like an XC bike, longer stem, rigid seat post, XC tires. Still has trail geometry, but I like that stability in a bicycle. |
