Where do you live? Maybe someone around this parts has something you can borrow ... I have something if you're in Michigan.


I live in the NW suburbs of Illinois.

I would run that Hardrock for sure, there is nothing wrong with an old bike so long as it has been looked after. As others suggested put on some slick tires and I would possibly bring it in for tune up if it isnt working as well as it once did. My mountain bike that I use for Xterra races is from 2000 an it still does a fantastic job (admittedly there have been a few upgrades along the way).



Also dont give up on Craigslist/used it takes time but deals are to be had. I wanted an inexpensive road bike for commuting and came home with a bike that would have cost $1500 new a couple of years ago for just $400.


It's in good shape still, it recently got a good tune up, and I'm going to upgrade a thing or two (tires, etc.).
By the way, I love your profile photo and am extremely jealous! I used to do long whitewater canoe trips in Ontario eons ago, on the Missinaibi river.
