Which Hardrock?
FS? Comp?

I've seen rigid hardrocks on closeout for $199. My 1999 FS model was ~$330
new.

in the hardrock line, FS = Front suspension, not Full suspension.

The shop owner told me the model is just Hardrock, so i guess it's the
basic
(rigid) model.
The prices are in EURO.

Thanks

Not knowing standard bike prices in Europe....but 300 seems kinda high. 1
Euro = +- $1, depending on who farted last.

Which one fits you the best, and which one do *you* like better? You're the
one who is going to ride it.

Ok
I get the point. It's a question about test riding and "feeling" with the
bike more than just compare the price and see what I get for it.

Today I'll go to the shops and ask for a test ride.

Thanks!!!

That's the ticket!
But..... if one of them is available in red, it will be faster, so give it
extra points. ;-)
