Hardrock Sport
Hey all. For my birthday I got 600 bucks (canadian) for a new mountain bike. I love taking my unnamable bike out on many a trail and drop (even if it sucks really bad). I'm very excited to get a new bike that will treat me better and im looking at the Specialized Hardrock Sport. My friends got one and he's pleased with it. So is it a good choice?

I think you'd love this bike, I do trails and urban assault on it and it treats me great. 
Test ride it at your local bike shop and see how it feels like.

I have one also, and I'm very pleased with it. DC is right, the rims do get out of true pretty quick, but I haven't bent mine further than what I did in the first week, since.
And the brakes still work well, since they aren't bent very far.
