Well, she just mentioned something with full suspension, and truthfully, I haven't looked at what entry level "full suspension" bikes cost. Honestly, she could probably just use a hardtail.
SRAM GX is good from what I've heard, and the components aren't insane expensive, so I'm not surprised to hear that.
She actually has a bike now that I bought her, it's a Trek Verse hybrid bike.
She had just mentioned that if she wanted to go some of the places I was planning to go, that, "Wouldn't I need a bike with full suspension?".
But like I said, I haven't looked at what a bike like that could cost on Craigslist used. It sounds like I can get something for even cheaper, in which case, good. I was always under the impression that full suspension bikes were just a lot more expensive in general.
