Thank you for all of the input. I have considered the SC Juliana too. I wasn't sure if I could get it to fit me since I am 5'11" and all legs...Since I just moved, I have not had time to check the shops out here. If I went with Giant, I would go back to my old shop in Boulder! (I am too loyal to them. And no Giant shops w/in 150 miles!)

Thank you for the input about Michigan. I have not visited MI in a long time! Thank you for the link Bear.

Bounceswoosh, you have a good point. We are all different. I was just worries I would get a mtn bike that was too much suspension for a flat WI! He he. Alright, I need to be nice to WI...it has some good traits!

Thank you everybody for the help.
