Hey guys, I'm getting into mountain biking and looking to pick up something for around $400. I've been looking at Specialized Rock Hoppers, but I also found a Specialized Ground Control FSR. He's asking $400. Here's are a few pictures:
I was looking at size 17 bikes because I'm 5'7" but that one is a 19". I am 200lbs though so idk if that would make a difference. Anyway, my question is what do you think, does that bike look any good? If so, what do you think a fair price would be? Should I stick to a newer model rock hopper? If not specialized, what else would you suggest for someone like me. I'll mainly do xc and hopefully some downhill now and then.
Thanks!
