Well, I've decided to do it...I'm going to get a new bike. I'm kind of clear as to what I want, but I need a little guidance. So far, I'm settled on getting a hardtail, and I really like GT (that's what I have now). I know I don't need disc brakes because I'm not going to be all hardcore downhill biker girl (not yet, at least) so I want V-brakes, right? And what kind of components should I look for? Shimano has a bunch of different kinds, and I want something in the middle, i guess, like deore LX? Maybe? Oh, and I think I could mangage to spend b/t $700-$900. What do you think? Any ideas? I really appreciate it guys...help a novice out.
