Hi guys
I want to buy a new mountain bike and I can't decide between these two:
Specialized Hardrock Sport
http://www.specialized.com/us/en/bc/SBCBkModel.jsp?spid=45756&menuItemId=0&gold_ses=
Merida Matts 40 V
http://www.merida-bikes.com/fr_nl/bike/2011/40/MTB+Hardtail/MATTS+40-V+
I understand that both are low-mid range MTB, but I can't afford something better for the moment. Both are in the price range of 350 Euros.
I consider myself to be an intermediate rider. I pass some 500 km on mountain dirt roads yearly and about as much in the city.
If somebody can make short comparison between the parts on both, I will be very thankful. Also I would appreciate any sort of advice
I have also been looking at KTM Ultra One as well, but the price is some 150 Euros higher, and the parts in my viewing are pretty much the same:
