Which ht...???
 

I'm new at mountain biking and have been reading up to educate myself. I know I want a hardtail with disc brakes, but which one??? SPECIALIZED, RALEIGH, FUJI, TREC or CANNONDALE...??? My budget is around $800-$900. Suggestions??? Thanks!!!

Probably lots of good choices out there.

Go to your LBS's and test ride some bikes, ask questions, read stuff on this forum, read the FAQ's/Stickys here. The answer will eventually become apparent.
