Hey folks,
So years ago when I was younger, I used to ride a fair amount and am looking at getting back into it. I'm sure I've lost most of my skills since then and have certainly forgotten a lot of the knowledge.
At any rate, my bike back then was a Klein Pulse II (predecessor to the Attitude) and I'm sick at myself for getting rid of it now, but what is done is done I suppose. Anyhow, I'm looking for a hardtail that rides similar to my old Klein. I've considered getting a used Attitude (I'm leaning more towards this at the moment), but would like to consider some newer options as well before doing that.
My budget is anywhere at or below $1200 and right now I've looked at (online mostly) a few bikes including Giant XTR, Stumpjumper, Trek 6700, and Hoo Koo E Koo. I'll be doing mostly casual XC.
Any other recommendations are appreciated.
