I was starting to get into mountain biking a while back and was really enjoying it but soon out-grew the fully rigid Giant I was riding and thats where my journey into the fat tire world ended for a while.
Now Ive started doing a little road biking but still really want to get into the off road scene for good. This is where you guys come in!
Im thinking Ill be starting with some XC stuff and would like to get into more technical trail riding with some small drops and things. Due to my tight budget I was planning on just getting a Specialized Rockhopper but now Im wondering if I should go for a Hardrock comp or pro disk. What do you guys think? Or could you suggest some other hardtails for about $500-600 that I should check out from companies like:
Gary Fisher (Tassajara maybe???)
Trek
Giant
Cannondale (havent heard good things about their mtb line)
Kona
Etc.
Thanks a bunch
