Hey Everyone,
I started riding recently on a Trek 3700 and I'm going with a bigger hardtail now. I wasn't satisfied with the 3700 for probably rather obvious reasons. Now I am looking at moving up and I have a few things in mind. Keep in mind I am looking to ride All Mountain...meaning tougher than cross country, but not flying down hills and leaping off 10 foot drops. Ya know what I'm sayin'? I'm 17, about 5'8" and weigh 130 lbs on an average day. I already have a Camelback Hawg for water and carrying gear, an Azonic full-face helmet, full finger gloves, a pair of 661 ridin' shoes, and some Crank Brothers Smarty clipless pedals. My budget is under 600 dollars...maybe I can splurge to a little over 600 depending on the deal. The bikes I have in mind are the Specialized Hardrock Sport Disc, Specialized Hardrock Comp Disc, Kona Blast, or a Kona Shred if I can get it under 600 dollars. Out of those bikes what would you suggest? I checked out the Ibex Alpine series but the 550 that I was looking at was sold out.
Thanks,
Mike
