Hi folks,
My first post to the forum/group and wanting the sage advice of others (apologies if this is not the right place to post this sort of enquiry).
Am returning to trails after a decade away doing ultra's and living outside of NZ. I'm wrestling with what bike do I throw my small budget at. I am weighing up a decent XC hard tail vs. a trail orientated full suspension. The type of riding that i'll get in to being local trails here in the Waikato and races like Whaka100 and a return to the Karapoti.
My dumb ego is going 'you need a fully for something like Karapoti'. Have about $2,500K tops, looking at Specialised Chisel, etc.
Thoughts on either welcome :-)
