New to MTB world! Are any of these 3 bikes good for a start?

Question

I haven't rode a bike in a long while and looking for a new MTB to get strated with. I am 6'6" and weigh 190. I will mostly be riding concrete/asphalt and some basic dirt trails to begin with. I have a top end budget of about $700.00 - $750.00. The thee bikes I have been considering are as follows:

Marin Alpine Trail 29er

Trek 6000D

Cannondale F7

I am wondering if any of these bikes would be a good starter and some feedback/suggestions on what might be the better choice. Maybe another bike I haven't thought of?

Answer 1

i would get a giant or fuji instead, they come with better components for the same price.

Answer 2

consider the jamis komodo FX 2.0

has good quality parts like

-Manitou Stance Flow fork sports 120 to 150mm

-Shimano Deore

-TruVativ

- Hayes disc brakes

Answer 3

I'd rank them, Trek, Marin, Cannon.    You need to test ride the 29'ers to see if you want the bigger wheels v. the standard 26" MTB setup.

Consider also:

Kona Cindercone

Gary Fisher Piranha or Marlin

Specialized Rockhopper
