2005 Diamondback Topanga Comp and the 2004 Giant iguana. Both costs $500. I have tried both, and so far the Diamonback is the one that feels the best. I felt a little streched on the Giant, but the guy in the store said he coud get a shorter stem installed.

Any suggestions/oppinions anyone??

The Iguana is a fine bike. Since the guy at the shop offered try it with the shorter stem.
