Hi all!
I have just recently decided its time to get back on a bike. Its been a long time! I think that I have picked out the bike I want I just am having a hard time sizing the bike. my LBS was not too helpful with this so i thought i would toss it out here.

The Bike is a Specialized Hardrock Sport Disc. I am about 6' 1" and i dont know quite what size I should go with. All the LBS said was "depends on what kind of riding you want to do." Thats the thing I dont know yet! I know there are plenty of trails around where I live but there is no telling what kind of riding I will take a liking to.

Any thoughts on the bike or the size would be great!
Thanks,
Todd

I used to live in Phoenix. You have over 100 miles of mountainous trails within the city limits. Consider mountain biking. The traffic in Phoenix is deathly.
