Hello everyone, i want to buy a new bike but am no sure what to buy. The Matts TFS XC 100-D has been suggested but am not sure if its spec'ed appropriately. I'am looking for a trail bike (mainly firetrails, technical and some xc) and i want to pay around the $1000.00 mark i'am probably around the low intermediate mark just for reference. The main thing iam looking for is a good hardtail trail bike that wont fall apart after 6 months of intermediate trail riding.

Thank you very much everyone.

You could check out deals on 2009 bikes in the LBS, perhaps something like the Giant XTC? You never know, they might get close to a grand.

Btw my neighbour has a garry fischer level betty in his garage that has not had a lot of use, does anyone no anything about this bike like what style bike it is, if its any good. Is it worth making him an offer and taking it for the right price and "modernize" it a bit (how much $$ btw?) or is it to old to bother. And while i was doing some reserch i discovered the Merida matts TFS Trail....AHHHHH How does this compare? is it as good on the trails and xc with a little bit of a all mountain feel? Sounds nice cos i like to mix it up. Thanks
