Under $350 quick recommendations
I need to get something quick for under $350 - as roadish as possible (light, less -very tuned/stiff- fork travel, fast). I tried a Giant Yukon (might have been rincon since the frame looked like the yukon) for about $320 - what do you guys think of those? I might buy it monday. There aren't many bike stores around here, but maybe I'll check chicago (20m in the train).

I think you need like, 4 and a half full suspansion bikes.
*Yes, the yukon or rincon would be good at that price point.

I'd probably go cyclocross or even roadie if I could even get something for that price range. I'm going to try this trek 850 (or 950 - I forgot *50) for about that much + lifetime on fork and frame. Most of you will probably not recommend trek, and I can't blame you for being against near monopolies.
I looked for used, and didn't find much. I know the giant is good for that price, but what is the best you've seen for ~350?
