I'm trying to narrow it down to three or four bikes I can test-ride pretty thoroughly. So far Gregg's Greenlake has strongly suggested the Gary Fisher Montare or Mendota, which do seem like possibilities. I'm very interested in the Marin Pt. Reyes but haven't yet found a shop in Seattle or Portland with one in stock, I want to look at the Cannondale Quick and Bad Boy (which I will do at REI today) and I looked at a Fuji Absolute 1.0, which was nice and light but seemed maybe too road-bikey and insufficiently mountain bikey for me. I'm told I should look at the Specialized Ariel, so I will definitely do that. I'm wondering if I should identify a Trek to check out. Got any other suggestions?
