Order is out. I have changed the Maxxis for Continental Double Fighter III Sport. I'm rather excited, must admid, more than when I bought my BMW Nine T :p
Hi guys,
Am verry happy with all the feedback you gave me and I have made a decision. I'm going for the Focus 29er Bold with the T.E.C. pack. No extra wheels but I will order a set of Maxxis Grifter 29x2.50" for commuting. I was a tire freak back in the days and changed tires all the time so I'm...
I'm leaning towards the Focus, but I'm reconcidering the full suspension option as I found a good deal on the Bold hardtail (2650 euro - same groupset). That will allow me to buy a larger and more comfortable frame [for commuting]. If I get realy back into mountain biking I will have a better...
I'm glad to hear about your 82 year old friend :p I have wasted so much (sport) time (but I have lived more in the last 10 years than in my whole previous live :devilish:). Anyway, I'm 54 years old now. I surently won't relive my glory days, but I will enjoy getting outside in the nature more...
Hi Bjep,
I can't test ride the bike. The reach of both bikes is about the same. Was one of the bikes more relaxed in terms of riding position and feeling? They both have flat handlebars so I can swap them for handlebars with a rise between 20 and 40mm and a backsweep if needed.
That makes 0-3 for the Focus ;)
Unfortunately, I can't try the bikes. But according the reviews they both have a relaxed riding position and about the same comfortable reach (mm Focus445-Trek449).
Ik might do the 30mm rise and I will use a speedship to get rid of the motor cut off.
The distance to work is only 10kms (6 miles). The fun part will be the weekend rides. I also love the comfort of a fully. I do commute every now and than with my sons race bike. That is diffinitly not a cummuter bike ;)
I posted a question in the Trek forum but it's actually about Trek AND Focus so I should have posted here in the general forum. Sorry about this.

12 years ago, circumstances made me quit sport from one day to another and it was the start of a very unhealthy lifestyle.
In an attempted to rekindle my love for biking again I desided to start this winter with a daily 2x10km commute to work with the goal to build my condition back up from...
