    Sandy, that is fantastic! I'm so excited for you. You will find that you love both types of riding for different reasons. BTW, I didn't see the link you were referring too.

    Sandy I have owned my Specialized Hardrock over 12 years ago when I was in college (pre front shox days). The thing is indestructable. I am even still on the original tires, impressive if you know that they've not be stored in nice ways all the time. The only maintenance I had to do was replace a rusty chain/tune up when I decided I should start using it again a few years ago. I don't take it out as much as I should, and I can swear I hear it muttering "taking the dainty new one out again huh, well I am TOUGH what about that?" when I pass it in favor of the road bike.

    I do have a fondness for it being so reliable....

    Enjoy your new bikes - just get out and ride them, they get lonely. Trust me (see the muttering part).
