i have these two options i came across while searching:

2005 Mongoose Tyax comp $200
2006 Mongoose Tyax comp $220
2007 Trek 820 $260


i know people are gunna say "trek over mongoose" but think about this. mongoose's tyax is one of the upper model hardtails they offer. while the 820 is Trek's lowest mountain bike available.

what do you think?

Is this a joke? Mongoose blows chunks! - except their seats(oops, saddles), they're ok.
