Hello all,
I am planning on doing the Gira de Costa in costa rica in January. I am doing version 2, which passes through two mountainous areas.
I have a priority 600 which I like and use everyday, but it has no suspension. It has a great gear range and I've used it while touring before so I know it will fit my stuff. Concerns include repairability (its got internal gears, so if something messes up im out) and it being a bit pricey and me being somewhat nervous about something happening to it.
My other option is an older full suspension gary fisher mountain bike. I haven't ridden it much but it works. I'm not sure how much storage I could get on it.
