I am goint to be purchasing a bike soon and have been looking a lot. I thought I had it narrowed down between a base Rockhopper for $610 and a GF Wahoo for $500. However I just recently came across a new 2010 Scott aspect 30 for $600. I've listed the Aspect 30 specs below but which of the three is the best bike?
