1. Giant Yukon for $423
2. Trek 4300 fir $387
3. Raleigh 05 M59 DX

Any advice would be really helpful!!!
Thanks!!
Yeah one without disc brakes. Disc brakes at this price point suck money from other parts such as the fork and drivetrain. See the $500 bike thread at the top of the page for more ideas
