If you want a decently priced freeride, you could go with the Trek Bruiser 2, or the Jamis Komodo FX 1.0 or 2.0. Nice bikes, I would have got the Trek Bruiser if they would have had the option of a black or flat black, but the really bad blue was just gagging me silly. The Komodo 1.0 will run you over $1,000.00 CND, and the Brusier 2 is around the $900 mark all before taxes.
