OK, I'm looking to pick up a new mountain bike (the 10 yo Wal-Mart kind of sucks!) So far the one I like the best (at least that I might can afford) is the Cannondale Jekyll 400. I can get it on sale for $950 at a local shop. It's funny, I started out wanting the $500 bike (I saw the thread) but as I read and looked around, my likes kept getting more expensive!!! Anyway the reviews I've seen on this bike were pretty good, and it seems to have fairly decent components. I'm a newbie, so I rely need to learn alot about riding. I mainly want a decent, upgradeable, trailbike. What do the experts (that's you guys) think of this bike?

yep walmart and store brands like that suck really really really really BAD. As for your money issue, yes that happens. the more you look into bikes, the more the cost and the better they get. For what your starting out with, the Cannondale Jekyll 400 looks pretty good. i'd go for it. Good Luck FLBandit!
