Hi all,
Looking to purchase a bike.. it's been quite a few years since I was on one, so I'm certainly a novice at the moment. Budget can't really justify a full suspension, so looking at HT options.
I'm looking at the Giant Talon 2015 models. 3 seems a bit low on spec with its components, but 1 and 2 offer a nice step up with brakes, forks and gears etc. 1 and 2 are both near the top end of my budget.
I'm just wondering if there's enough difference in spec between 1 and 2 to justify the extra couple hundred dollars in price? I obviously don't have any accessories either, so will need to pick up the minimal items required (pump, spare tube, pedals etc). Second question I guess is,, is this too much money to spend on a HT bike?
I'm located in Christchurch, so will likely be spending time on the tracks in the port hills (basic ones!).
thanks for any advice.
