Hi Elwood, would that be CA or CA?
Sorry, I couldn't resist that one. Are you in Canada or California? What kind of riding are you looking at doing?
Welcome to BF, and feel free to PM me with any questions

That would be CA, Canada. Trail and road riding mostly for leisure and fitness, there are many decent bike roads and trails (conservation areas) near my home. I think i would like a hardtail, entry level model of a good brand. any suggestions would be welcome el

The time-tested Specialized Hardrock would work (check out the Sport).

I just bought a Giant Boulder SE, entry level but i reckon i`ll upgrade components as they wear or fail. Actually the family all got new bikes, my wife got a Giant FCR, my son a Giant Bowery.
