Which Hardrock? FS? Comp?

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

Pete 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.

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!!! emile72
