I am wanting to get into riding some basic trails and am looking at an entry level MTB. I rode the Trek 820 and 3500, as well as the Giant Revel 2 along with several of the more expensive bikes. I seem to like the Trek 820 and the Giant the best. The Trek is cheaper and comes with free adjustments at the LBS. Any recommendations would be appreciated. I am in the $300 to $400 dollar range so I know that limits my options. Just trying to get the best bang for the buck.

Thanks
