tekazgtr1984 Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 I'm with Alex on this one, B. You'd probably like a hardtail but I'd say look for a fork with selectable lockout if you don't want any mushiness at all on the street. If you plan on sticking with Trek, the options are limitless and depend greatly on your budget. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Precise1 Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 i personally don't like most mainstream trek bikes. they are on the heavier side, and are a bit ugly imo. to recommend a bike we need to know your budget. but if you mostly ride on the street, a hardtail would be your best bet. but if you have more money to spend, you can get a full suspension bike with an adjustable rear shock, or selectable lockout. at the very least you should at least get front suspension. I don't mind a little more weight, the bike is for recreation, not comp. Besides, when you are used to a 500+ lb motorcycle, a 25 lb bike seems like cobwebs! I don't want to spend more than $800 (saving for a house and the Pathy needs more mods) so I don't know if I can get any quality full suspension in that price range. The lock out option makes sense though, I didn't consider that. I'm with Alex on this one, B.

I've generally heard good things about the durability of Trek bikes, not saying others arent as durable, I just don't know the current market.

GrimGreg Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 My GT only cost $270 (clearance, they got the next years models in). I'm like B not lookin to go compete, or do anything extreme with it, more just tooling around, so why pay a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tekazgtr1984 Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 And here I thought my Bigfoot was a steal at $930 with Fox racing helmet and Pearl Izumi Gel gloves thrown in at no extra charge (MSRP for the bike is $1,130, the helmet $120 and the gloves $65)... Suddenly, I'm feeling ripped off... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
