darn...
in the market for a new (to me) bike.
Intended use: occasional use (no more than once a week overall, maybe once a month on semi serious trails, if that). Combo of roads (rare), bike lanes, mild trails, and the rare serious trail. But having a better bike might up the offroad use a bit, of course. And would like to use the bike as a safety way out if truck stuck in the boonies.
Would like the capability to handle offroad nicely when needed, so not so keen on the hybrid type.
Brain says: for such dual use and no hardcore downhilling a hardtail is the best way to go, especially with lockout front.
say: Damn it all! I want a Full Suspension for the gearhead satisfaction!
