....and here's my thinking for them at this moment. Of course all deals are their own entity, who knows if you ever find the best deal EVAH next week, yeah right.
I'm liking this one;
27.5 wheels, higher end parts, decent fork and frame, but not dual suspension at $1000 msrp.
Ay, comes the rub. Upon further browsing Rocky Mountain's site, I fin to step up to a dually with 27.5 wheels starts at $3000msrp. Wow.
Brodie doesn't even have a bike in this market.
Norco... now I'm stoked.
Dual suspensions using the better wheel choice with a price range more of the riding public can work within! Tho duallys still start at 2000$, at least they don't start at 2900$. There would be a compromise within parts spec tho... always with the give and take in this bike-buying game.
It's tough to find the right bike. The thing about the fellow we're thinking about is a strong and keen who's bike is done (stick a fork in it). It's way too small and so worn out that a new bike is hugely indicated, and he might yet grow from currently six foot...
So what budget? As much as you can and shop well, I say. Seems to me, finding the Norco bike finder, that a dually 27.5 bike is doable without jeopardizing college.
And I feel done with used unless you're willing to put some work in. It's easy to get in over your head with the used bikes I reckon.
OK, that'll do for now. Always glad to be a reference person for hardworking parents interested in spending their money well to keep their kids into the offroad biking.
