I just got my Trek MTB of 5 years stolen (filed through a kryptonite lock and all). It had manatee front suspension and was most similar to their current 6700 MTB model. Im now on the hunt for my very own brand new bike. My only complaint with the Trek was lower back pains commonly associated with a MTB that has little elevation difference between seat and handlebar. Im apprehensive about going with a hybrid/cruiser for my 5 mile bike ride to school each day over the Brooklyn Bridge as i also want a ride with nice front shocks that will support me for some off road in Prospect Park as well as all weather use. $600-700 is about my upper spending limit.
So far the Specialized Hardrock series of bikes seems good though it probably will not help my back.
appreciate your input.
