I have looked at basically every bike out there in the 500 range. You cannot fing a suspension lockout on trek, specialized(with exception to hardrock comp. but again price shoots up for that), giant, etc Fisher Marlin got me excitied but it did not feel right to me. I know the components on Fujij may not be as good but it might just meet my needs but I still have to test ride it. I have also looked long and hard for used but again have not been able to find the right bike for a reasonable price. The haro is a nice bike but full suspension is not for me. I spend most of my time in the summer golfing! this is sport #2
