Hey guys!
I used to mountain bike in southern Germany in the Alps with a HT Marin. I love biking and have done it my entire life. Recently I moved to Florida and found out that there are many trails around here.
I have 2 bikes in mind right now(open to more ideas):
1: 2012 Marin Rock Springs Elite 29er 19' ($1250)
2: Lightly used 2013 Sette Serum Race with a few upgrades ($1500)
I really would like to go with a 29er but I don't think a 26' would bother me because that is what I'm used to.
My question is are there any better options out there for Florida trails? Is the Marin listed above a womens bike?(cant seem to find info on the Marin site about that model) The Sette is a 26' wheel and carbon frame.
What do you guys think?(definitely want to stay around the $1k mark)
I appreciate all the input!
