more of an idea now, please help? My previous question really helped point me in the right direction, So i thank the 3 gentleman that gave me great advice on bikes.
I have narrowed it down a bit more. I am looking for a bike in the price range of 200-400$. As time goes on and my skills and interest grow w/ mountain biking, i will look to upgrade my bike for more rough/advance terrain.
here is a little info I am 5'4", so i need a smaller bike. the trails i am looking to ride on, are not steep, moderate to no hills, but the terrain can be muddy at times, and loose dirt. So i am looking for a bike w/ disc brakes, tires that will be great in mudd
, comfortable, front suspension (i dont need full, since i wont be on crazy bumpy terrain), and decently light weight
the problem is finding this kind of bike, or something compromisable to it.
All help is wanted
. I know to stay way from department store bikes, such as Dicks and Wal-marts 
. I have found some local stores in NJ and been on their websites, but still cant find something to fit my needs and budget
