Im new and i havent owned a bike since i was a kid. Im looking for a hybrid since ill be riding mostly on pavements and sometimes on trails. I need some help trying to find a bike. My budget is below $700. I dont know which brand and which model I should be looking at. Any recommendations would be nice. Looking for a bike with front suspension.

would love a bad boy solo headshock but its out of my price range.

im looking at:
gary fisher kaitai
specialized crosstrail sport
trek kaitai
