That trek is way WAY over priced. Nothing at all wrong with DB but the Recoil uses an extremely dated suspension design. If the recoil was the top of the line version for $350 maybe but you already say it has low end components so I assume it isn't. If it is one of the lower end versions with a coil rear shock it is going to be heavy and a pedal bobbing monster. If it had a higher end rear shock with pro pedal to fight some of that bobing I might put up with the weight and dated suspension design for $350 as a starter bike but yeah probably better off with a hardtail.
