So I've gone out and done some research. I'm looking into these bikes:
From a local Bike shop:
Gary Fisher Advance (lifetime on frame)

Raliegh Mojave 2.0 (5 years on frame)
http://www.raleighusa.com/items.asp?...temid=283&va=0
Trek 3900 (lifetime on frame)

From Dicks Sporting goods
Mongoose Select (30 days or 3 years for $50)

Any thoughts? The mongoose definately gives me the most and is I believe also the cheapest but from Dicks (which actually does have a guy that does the bikes and services them etc. but nothing like a real bike shop I don't think) The Trek 3900 is pretty tempting.
