EDIT: This bike is FS in the Member Marketplace.
My 2005 Specialized Hard Rock Pro is in need of a new chain, maybe a new cassette and all the usual tweaks a bike like this needs. Wheels trued and maybe even new hubs.
I'm loathe to take it to a "chain" bike shop and would rather give my money to someone local who would do it right - like it was their bike. I also need an honest estimate on cost/benefit of rebuild this warhorse or just buy a 2015.
My wifes 2006 (same bike, LOW miles) eats tubes. I've been through several new tubes and they don't last but one ride and then the next time I look at it it's on flats. Maybe a sharp edge in the rim or something?
Anyone?
