Question for the MTB'ing crowd: I might forgo a cyclocross frameset in favor of an MTB, but it would involve buying a whole new bike. I haven't done any MTB stuff since 2005, so what on earth is decent right now? Can a reasonable bike be had for <$1k? I was looking at a Cannondale F4, but there have to be other options out there.
halp?
vvvv i arm special.
I would steer away from Cannondale, but that's just my opinion. They have alot of proprietary parts that you might have a headache replacing or upgrading in the future. I know their steer tubes are a weird size, and I think they also have their own chainring spacings. For a K you could get a nice hardtail, drop another $300 and you can get a nice 29er. Don't bother grabbing a dually for that money, if you want to go rear suspension I'd recommend you drop at least $15-1800. Giant usually has really good pricing for what you are getting on their bikes.
