beginner mtn bike, what to buy

[mark v.]

I bet you guys get a lot of these. I am in nashville and Im looking to
take advantage of these great hills and country side as I previously
lived in the city. I want to get a bike that will serve me well. I
dont really plan to race or anything, just go out on the weekends and
evenings and ride the crap out of my bike. I also dont want a throw
away bike so something quality would be good.
Is the schwinn rocket series a good bike? A lot of the guys here say
schwinn is junk and I should get a rocky mtn. What full suspension
bike do you guys recommend for a beginner?
Thanks

No. Not too many. Seldom more than two a day actually.

Maybe on AM-B, but not RBO-R! It's a downright flurry to get two posts a
WEEK here...

I tried a rocky mtn, specialized (several models) Trek,
and Gary Fisher...

Road a Yetti and bought it on the spot..
