ok so i have my hard tail for when I go riding at my local trails. what I mean by local are; trails that are behind schools and libraries and are basically just like 1/2-2 miles of trails. I ride my hard tail there and to be honest I'm not really a fan of hard tails and was thinking about saving up for a DH FR rig. maybe a SS bike. something that is in between XC and the good stuff. but after thinking, I realized that the big squishy bike would only be good for actual trails, like whistler and trails of that sort. since I dont drive, I bike to my trails currently, and I wouldn't be able to ride enough to make my moneys worth and having a big bike like that at my trails is sorta overkill. although if i got a big bike I would find people to ride with. should I:
I was leaning on spending the money on my hard tail and make it better since I ride mellow trails like 90% of the time, and I can get away with it so far on my current bike. not to mention a hard tail is MUCH easier to ride on pavement, and easier for long bike rides, and less maintenance, which is all what I need, and not to forget it's cheaper. S**T looks like I'm answering my own question! lol.sorry guys. i guess I want advice on what to do more then an answer... Duh haha.
- Buy a suspension frame and switch out the parts between frames to match the terrain
- Sell my hard tail and buy a SS bike for all around use
- Keep the hard tail and buy a complete bike
- or make my hard tail better and buy newer components, and upgrade stuff like fork, brakes, etc.
