Thanks. I'm not a huge fan of Specialized. My current bike is a Specialized hardtail MTB, but I feel like I got ripped off. The quality of the parts I got for the price I paid was not all that great. I mean, I guess the quality is fine...? But after looking at new bikes, I now realize I could have done much better with a Trek or Cannondale in the same price range, for example.

I currently have my eyes set on a specific Cannondale hardtail MTB. Two shops nearby sell the same model (coming drop shipped from the same warehouse, I think). If I order a bike, it can get to one of the shops by May 14th, or I can wait until a long time to get my bike serviced. I'd much prefer 10 days, but idk.
