If you like trails, and like to fly over the bumps - this bike may fit you well.
Otherwise,
Giant Roam may be your other choice, even if slower, it will be more comfy, better for not so perfect trails and easier for hilly terrain.
If I was buying bike ONLY for the way it looks - Anyroad would be my choice. It's awesome looking...but since you are new to biking - make sure to buy a bike you will enjoy riding on, and one that fits terrain and your riding style/needs.
wasn't looking for a speedster, just a bike for trails, and casual riding. the guy waiting on me listening to me about riding trails said he thought that this one would be better suited for me than others with the straight bar, he noted longer rides i would have more hand options.
