entry level but good value.

My suggestion is to go with Trek, it's got disc ready hubs. I'd even go so far as to ask the LBS to quote a price to stick on some Avid discs for you, you won't regret it.

Jim
Yeah, but at that price you really start getting up to the price of the GF Mullet, with a better fork and drivtrain.

the rider can get the Opie GF for $349 w/disc hubs...and maybe .... plus the cost of Avids, say another $100 to $150. The Mullet jumps to $1100, about 3x his budget.

Jim
You got your models in the wrong order. Mullet runs MSRP of $599. Then the Bitter at $879.....then the GED at $1099.

So he acutally only about $100 below the Mullet.
