I wash my bikes after every trail ride to get all the junk of them, and see all the new scratches.

The Trek Y26 is frowned upon on this forum, yet nobody ownes one. To this day i have not have had a problem exept for climbing hills, I got the ario shock, problem solved. Everyone talks crap, but i have beat this bike to death and its still alive. I recently put together a 1,000 dollar bike and i already have a problem. Im not convinced on why people shun this bike. Its a begginer bike, thats why its only 300 bucks. Thats not bad for a bike that can take a good beating. C'mon RAIYN you gotta give me that.
