发帖数: 669 | 1 I want to use it for commute on trail to completely avoid traffic. The trail
is 14 miles total with 6.5 miles unpaved. The unpaved section is mostly
flat but has a few long and steep slopes up to 15 degree.
Is this bike good enough?

发帖数: 669 | 5 I don't think I will buy a tri bike. I will simply get a forward seat post (
which effectively increases the seat tube angle) and add a pair of clip-on
aero bars. I cannot justify the additional $2k for a tri-bike.

why not get a cyclocross? It's perfect for commuting even on all paved roads.

mountain biking at some point, will that $400 bike good enough for a
beginner?

发帖数: 19210 | 9 should be okay for easy trails. more $$$ mtb means lighter, stronger, better
suspension, smother shifting...
but for beginner, it should be fine.
my first mtb back in china was roughly US$300, and it was a steel bike with
NO suspension. loved it.
