Hardrock vs rockhopper vs iron horse warrior frames

i am looking at getting my first bike and am unsure what bike i should get. people seem to think that i should choose based on frame so i am wondering how these frames compare as platforms for future builds. also, what about the gt avalanche 3.0? thanks in advance

Then you need to read the FAQ's

Not entirely so You should go test ride some bikes and decide more on feel. Parts can be changed.

They don't sell just the frame

The GT isn't even in the same league as the Hardrock much less the Rockhopper.

They can all be rebuilt any way you want. One thing to consider is that the Iron Horse warrior comes with an internal headset so you'd be fairly limited in what you can replace it with.
