Hey guys,
I'm new to the bad ass mountain bikes, so HI!!!!. I've ridden in Colorado, Utah, Arizona, Idaho but I just bought my first nice bike.
I decided on the FSR XC Comp by Specialized from what the salesman at the store said. Did some research online too.
I live in Dallas, and want to be able to just do normal trails with a moderate level of riding but definately some hard stuff. No downhilling, no crazy jumping or cliffs or crazy gnarly stuff.
I do have a place in Durango, Colorado as well so I want to be able to take it there as well.
My friend said the bike could blowout in hard conditions b/c of lack of travel... Should I worry about this? To me it seemed the bike is fine for what I want but he said something about a Stumpjumper HT which is similar price I think.
Did I make a good call. I really liked how light and nimble it was plus the red and white was a cool color scheme.
Did I make the right call? Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Zach
