I've narrowed down my search to the two bikes below, and I want your opinions on which I should choose based on my type of riding and which is a "better" all around bike. It will be 75% street riding (jumping off things, not-too-long distance riding, general cruising around) and 25% average dirt riding. I weigh 200 lbs and have a looooong history with mountain bikes... but that was about 7 years ago.

2003 Gary Fisher Tassajara (http://salemcycle.com/site/itemdetai...=39&sort=Price) without the disk brakes and only $550.

or

2004 Hardrock Pro Disc (http://www.specialized.com/SBCBkModel.jsp?spid=6015) for $610


If you all need more information before you answer, ask away. Otherwise I appreciate all input.

Thank you.
