gradually edging closer to making a decision.
I want a bike I can disappear for the weekend on, as well as commute and ride some trails.
So a MTB that can be loaded up.
The On-One 456 is looking good. A mate of mine loves his and recommended. Decent kit for a beginner in terms of mountain biking and has rear rack mounts for packing. That with one of them big saddle bags and a small bar bag could do the trick well.
Maybe have option to switch to rigid fork and woodchippers if the time was right.
Other option is a Karate Monkey ops. A lot more expensive (over double I reckon) but, 29er, tapered fork etc may be better in the long run?
No rack mounts but could fit saddle bag and switch to ECR fork for front rack fun and again woodchippers.
What say you?
