I was pretty impressed when i saw the Scott Sub 30 700C at the local bike shop. I was hoping some of you could comment on the bike and its components. The local bike shop was offering it for sale for $610 after registration (~$20). Is this bike a good value?

I would prefer to have all terrain tires. Can anyone recommend a 700C all terrain tire? Can i use a 29'er tire?

Anything you folks would modify on the bike? Good bang for the buck. Handlebars? Brake pads?

Thanks in advance
