Hi All
Newbie here but wanting to buy a bike for general use, commuting (10Km a day) and getting out with the boy at weekends. Have about $1k to spend and have been offered a Bianchi 5300 (2012) for $1k from the LBS but in looking around I've seen the HASA brand which seems to have much better spec but from the web. Also considering a Rockhopper 29er Comp from a not so local LBS even though it's an extra $200. I'm 6"1 and 80Kg's. Any advice from anybody would be appreciated.
Currently favoring the Bianchi for the advice, help etc. from the LBS but can't get past the specs .....
