Specialized Rockhopper for regular cycling too?

Hi,

I'm very much a beginner with all things mountain bike but mainly I want one to go to and from work, which is maybe 40 mins there and back, but also for the summer for a bit of off-roading (nothing major, just fun).

Would this fit the bill?

Sorry for the language, it's where I am based

Thx!

BTW the price including delivery is just under 390 new. Seems v.good to me.

Would fit the bill nicely, seems a good price too.

But as a beginner, is ebay your best bet? Trying some in a local shop may be better. Plus the service they can provide.

Hey, thanks for replying!

I think eBay is my best bet... it's all very very expensive over here and that bike is not being had for less than 600 Euro in stores...

Same seller has a red one for 40 Euro cheaper, also new, and with disc brakes (black one has V-brakes, it says).

Red one has V's as well not discs.

Oh aye, you're right. Well, I think it's a great price. Not a fan of red but for 40 Euro less might be tempted. It is a good buy imo.

Seller seems a bit confused, pic of black one has discs, text says V's (unless my German is really bad).
I'd ask for a pick of the bike actually being sold. Presume he's just picked that pic up from the net.
