I went to my LBs and tried a few bikes. Another bike shop offered me a 05 blue specialized hard rock sport disc for $350 ($440 originally). I really like the base model better, as i rode a red disc today. I am ordering a black 2006 specialized hardrock in an XL (21"). I like the color better and the feel of the bike, so that made my decision. Even though it is $360 for less of a bike really.
