I've been debating about this for a while and the list is still very long. I do alot of XC riding on the weekends and whenever I get a chance during the week. I usually ride at least 10 miles on pavement every day too. I like hardtails, and I'm pretty sure I want a front shock lockout for my road riding.
I'm trying to keep the whole purchase under $900 (including some new gear).
I don't care what year model it is (I assumed an '09 is cheaper by now)
I've test ridden most of these already.
Any opinions on the following bikes?
Trek 4500
Specialized Rockhopper Comp Disc
Giant XTC 2
Marin Alpine Trail
Gary Fisher Wahoo Disc
THANKS!
