Hi all! This is my first post here and hopefully this is a good place... I am just geting back into some cycling, and I've had the Gary Fisher Tassajara for the longest time, and I love it... however, I think it is time for a new one and I would really like one with dual suspension and nice solid brakes (completely sick of those rubber pads!!!)... I do shift aggressively so solid dependable shifters are also very important. I am 6'3" with fairly long legs, and I think the current bike is 26" or so... I am not familiar with some of these other types of sizing they use, but anyways, here are a list of possibilities for me, in order of price, so please let me know which you recommend for mostly road biking and occasional mountain biking.... thanks!
