First post here - and hopefully not my last.
I have recently had the "urge" to get back into biking, my old bike was a VERY OLD specialized Rock Hopper FSR

Now i have 2 very small kids, id like to spend some "me" time hooning round the local tracks (i now live in South Cantab)
Im after an Entry level 27.5", possibly leaning to intermediate bike with a budget of 3k max (we are single income family)
Id prefer a dual sus bike but wouldn't rule out a hardtail (though ive havent owned a hardtail since i was a child) if i could get a better bike overall.
Just trying to get the best bang for my buck - but am completely out of touch with whats available.
We have a Bike Barn near here, the Cyclery, and if i have to i can travel to Torpedo 7, Advanti in Dunedin.
Ive also been looking at Evolutioncycles.co.nz (free shipping)
im 176cm tall.
If anyone has and suggestions/opinions, i would love to hear them - if i have posted in the wrong section feel free to moderate.
thanks for reading
