Ive been looking into a 29er hardtail and i have figured out 4 different models.
Cannondale Trail SL 29er 4 1000
Spec. Rockhopper SL Comp 29 1300
Giant XTC 29er 2 1300
Kona Kahuna 1000

They seem to have similar components, but i am just trying to figure out what the best buy would be overall. I would be willing to spend more on one of them if the frame/fork/wheels were really that mush better.
Any help in deciding would be appreciated.
