My LBS carries the above. I race for my LBS, so really those are my
choices.
I'm 36, competitive in my sport division (3rd overall in 03) and am
upgrading to a full suspension cause everyone kicks my ass on the
downhill part of the course.
I'm a strong climber whose more roadie than mtb'er lately.
Lets say that the fuel is the most expensive, then $400 less is the
Devinici and another 350 down is the Klein. Price isn't that much of a
factor but i want bang for the buck for sure.
I'm looking for a solid race bike that is also FUN; and since i race
all of 6-8 races /year..and its for stupid sport division...i have to
keep in mind what riding is all about.
Will the Maverick suspension be around in a year/2/4? is the trek fun
all around or is it harsh? etc.
I've never seen a review of the 04 klein or the devinci, but if anyone
can offer suggestions or non abusive comments about any of this i'd
appreciate it.
cheers.
