QUOTE(MattJ @ Apr 12 2012, 12:12 PM) Need some advice on getting a hardtail. I think they re more or less the same ...Which one? use for on road and some off road. Specialized Hard Rock or Fuji Nevada 2.0 or Merida Matts 40 or Cannondale F5. Others include lower end models such Exitway ASX Pro.  If budget is not an issue ...I would look at these: 1. Bike Weight 2. Fork quality 3. Group set But I ll never get a Merida ..hahaha...thats me la ..dont ask me why |

Major,
Did use a Merida roadbike before. OK but never tried the MTB. Used a Fuji Nevada, Polygon Strada and Orbea frame MTBs. The Fuji was the best. So in lieu of that might be getting the Specialized or the fuji. |
