[QUOTE="_JOE_, post: 1294203, member: 77507"] I've been to all the bike websites I can think of. I've spec'd alot of bikes in my pricerange and they are all a give and take. I have a GT dealer that does business at my shop, so I'de like to return the favor. He also carries Mongoose, and they have a decent looking rig, but it's 100 bucks more. I would rather get a bike and change some stuff as I go. The Avalanche 3.0 disc is what I keep looking at. It lists for 479, has mech disc, lower line Shimano deraileurs, Alex double wall rims, Suntour fork w/lockout. Seems like a good starting point at least. I was hoping someone with mechanical disc could give thier opinion. I've never ridden them. I imagine the rear would be fine, and I see you can get a hydraulic setup for about 100 bucks. I plan on using it to ride to work which is only a mile from home. My kids just got thier first pedal bikes, so we do alot of laps around the neighborhood. I have a 20inch dirt jump bike now, and it's not fun to ride far. Fun to mess around on, not for distance. I tried clipless once and felt like I was gonna end up sliding across the ground on my face with the bike smashing me in harder. Didn't like it. Thanks for the responses guys! [/QUOTE]
