Bbbbbbbb Posted January 30, 2019 Posted January 30, 2019 What is a recommendation for a decent alu midlevel hardtail? Something like the old alu Giant XTC? Need a bike to do some local trails as well as commute to work and back. Want a bike thats “relatively “ low on maintenance so no dual sus. Pref a Fox or a Rockshock fork. A SLX specWill probably just convert to a 1x too Any recommendations and estimates on price?
Bbbbbbbb Posted January 30, 2019 Author Posted January 30, 2019 Oh and 29er pls... no 26 or 27.5 junk
Onegear Posted January 30, 2019 Posted January 30, 2019 Was going to try and mention maybe going for a plus size 27.5 hardtail for added comfort on your commutes and added grip on the trails. Such as a merida big Trail. Which is great value for money. And that plus wheel should have a circumference of a skinny 29er wheel. Hopefully making it not fall under the 'junk' category.

Grease_Monkey Posted January 30, 2019 Posted January 30, 2019 Oh and 29er pls... no 26 or 27.5 junkYou've lost me. If you think 26 or 27.5 is junk you probably won't see good advice if you see it
Grease_Monkey Posted January 30, 2019 Posted January 30, 2019 On a serious note, I'd be looking for a steel frame - it ads quite alot of comfort to your ride. On One Inbred, Cotic Solaris etc... will be a bit more pricey, but older models can be had for under 10k.
