Thanks for the input, guys. It seems a lot of riders here have had or currently own a RH....seems like a pretty good ride. Both of my current bikes are Specialized, so I feel comfortable with them, but I didn't want to rule out other brands. Locally, I have dealers that sell Specialized, Trek, Cannondale, Diamondback, Giant, Santa Cruz and Haro to name a few. I plan on spending a little time at the LBS...go on a few rides and decide from there....I'm kinda new to ATB's, so I was looking for opinions/ suggestions. Thanks a lot for the input.
