Please feel free to share any models you are won over with (relative to price) for performance and value made by GT, Gary Fisher, Trek, Schwinn, or Specalized(limited to these per my vendor). Again looking for a base of around $500 MSRP for me and $350 for my wife.
Also, should I scrap the idea of a Scwhinn Rocket in favor for a hardtail with disc's?
