Thanks. We're here in the midwest. I'm leaning towards a hardtail...my roadbike get the $$ spent on it too. I like Giant, and I've been looking at the XTC 29'er 2. Full suspension I looked at was the Giant Trance X2. Big price difference between the two. I like the hardtail that I mentioned, and I think I could probably get it done on the trails here with it.
