The Specialized and the Cannondale are prettannondaley close to the same component quality. I personally would go witht the Cannondale as it is possibly a better quality bike but it does cost a little more than a Hardrock. If I were you I would test ride both and see what feels best because between the two thats what it will probably come down to.

Haro bikes in the price range of the other two bikes are going to spec about the same.

Post up some links to any of the bikes you are looking at and I can help you out.

Also take a look at Trek and Garyfisher.  :twocents:

Im sure Issaquah has some good stores as it pretty close to one of the better biking areas in the state. There is a shop in North Bend... can't think if the name but I know they carry some pretty good stuff. Might want to check it out. Also look online at places like craigslist. You can find some great deals out there.

Didn't know bicycles and ATVs were supposed to have manners  :dunno: that another option you can buy from the store?

Thing with bikes is they are quiet, take effort and they are LEGAL. It isn't some lazy ass person who doesn't want to put in the physical effort to get back where they want to go, and then ride around a locked gate that specifically says "no motorized vehicles." But bikes are worse than ATVs?  :rolleyes:

Last year I thought It would be nice to ride a bike the 5 mi. down past the Icicle Cr. Road washout to do a hike I've been wanting to do for a while.  We were riding down a little hill and I hit the front breaks to hard (the back break was worn out, I got it on freecycle) I did a flip over the handlebars and wasn't hurt.  Landed right on top of my 50 lb pack.  My buddy came up behind with camera in hand laughing his ass off while I was trying to roll over with the 50 lb pack pinning me down.  I felt like a turtle on his back.  The picture is still up on my buddies fridge.

This year we decided to stash a bike and hike over Little Giant pass to napeequa and then over high pass on to Massie and out Buck Cr. Pass trailhead which required riding the pedal bike back to the car.  My buddy (the one that laughed his ass off at me) won the bike trip back to pick up the car.  Using my bike (  :chuckle:) where the pedal attaches it the gears some how came unscrewed and fowled it up so he couldn't pedal. For 3.5 mi. he had to push it up a hill and coast it down.  I got a good laugh at that.

This fall the two of us road up the icicle again for another hike.  The bolt attaching my seat came loose and the seat kept tilting backwards so it felt like I was getting raped by the tip of the bike seat.  My buddy laughed.  On the way back my buddies tire blew out so he had to push the bike the 5 mi. back.  I laughed harder.

Moral of the story:  Free Bikes are free for a reason

One of these days I'll get one of those newfangled bikes you guys are describing.

Here it is as it sits now. Should get a light for the front, keep thinking about a little computer just so I know how far I've gone. After packing that elk out a rack on the back does sound good. In the pouch I keep tire patches and stuff in case I get a flat, and a pump in my pack.
