so the question is are micargi bikes any good? my old lady is freakin out about me spending 300 on a bike so I can't spend any more then that, but I gotta start riding again, I found this site that sells tank, micargi and other names I have never heard, was looking at theire full suspension bikes for under 300, any suggestions?

Yeah avoid them like the PLAGUE. Good suspension bikes don't start until $1000. The bikes on that website are the same as what you can find at Walmart utter crap. Sorry.
My suggestion go to a REAL bike shop were bikes are the MAIN business (not Sports Authority and the like) and see what they have to offer. Even a used bike would be a better choice than those boat anchors
