Hello All,
I currently have a 2001 Trek 820. Am looking to upgrade a little bit. I live in Central Florida, so there are no mountians to climb. I am looking for a bike I can run on the road for 10-15 miles at a time, but still be able to get on some trails.
I have been looking at the Rockhopper and the Hardrock. Can't seem to figure out the difference between these two models. I realize each model is configured differently, but which is better for me?
I have also been looking at the Trek 4300 and 4500.
I am 45 years old and although quite active, I can't see myself conquering some great mountian in the near furture.
I just want to have some fun on the trails and comfortable on the road.
This is a great site, and have spent many hours on it.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Ed
