So now saying one needs to know what type of riding a person wants to do before suggesting which bike might be suitable is a silly parameter?
just.. wow.
I suppose that's very easy when the only option ever proffered is to buy a new bike and one that is not cheap. Your help so far has been: Should have bought a better bike in the first place. Buy a new bike.
I would rather ask what the Ops goals and budget is so a realistic solution could be considered. Not impose my personal preferences onto him regardless of his circumstance.
