I have a tough decision to make. I can't decide if I should get the Iron Horse Azure Sport or the Iron Horse MKIII Trail. If you could provide some suggestions I would greatly appreciate it.
I'm relatively new to mountain biking and I've been riding a few trials around town. I plan to ride much more trails and my current bike (el cheapo $400 bike) can't handle the trails. It's just broken down too much and I think it's time to upgrade.
Now whichever bike I get, which right now i'm deciding on the Azure Sport or the MKIII Trail, the front & rear derailleurs, shifters and brakes will be switched to Shimano XT which I already have (new in packaging).
The trails I ride are for the most part "intermediate" trails. Nothing too technical and no big drops. At the tops I'll encounter maybe a 3 foot drop. I don't plan on riding anything "advanced", not for the time being at least.
What do you guys think I should get?
