Would you suggest buying a from a local shop then? Can you point me in the right direction as to what I should be looking at? I want the hydraulic disc brakes and a lockout front fork so I was look at something like the diamondback overdrive. What're your thoughts on this bike and what other bikes I should consider? As I've said before I'd like to do 70 percent around town and 30 on the trails. Any help is much appreciated
