Snakehunter, I'm not actually in college yet, just saving up some money for when i get there.

As for the transition dirtbag, it looks like a nice bike but I'm looking for a hardtail. Nothing against full-squish bikes, but for some reason I'm craving a hardtail.

Mael, you can close this thread or leave it open for some discussion if you want. I'm going to post in the sticky.
