I'm doing 2 and a half hours a day riding now, and probably should spoil myself, but I searched the Santa Cruz and it may be a touch above my pay grade at this point.
I bought a $1,300 hardtail mid December and really like it, but am looking for a full suspension bike next. Coming close to retirement, so got a few questions about how much we'll need.........puts a dampener on discretionary spending.
It's hard to see, but is the rear tyre the aggressor?
