  depends largely on budget and riding style
  
  if u ride a long rides
  then roadies are much faster and of cuz much more exp
  
  a popular brand will be giant. value for money
  if u`re rich u can consider brands lke kline or trek or gary fisher
  
  for mountain bikes u can consider low ranges like giant or specialised if u`re begginer.
  if u`re much advanced u can consider cannondale or trek
  
  ultimately u need to look at ur budget and riding style
  for me i ride a hybrid, it`s lighter than conventional mountain bike yet not so exp.
  and lower in maintainence..

  Yup, what are you going to use the bike for?
  Budget?
  I don't recommend cannondale though, they seem darn overpriced or maybe i'm just poor.

  love mountain bikes leh
  so hardy and tough
  plus u can use mountain bikes on road
  but very difficult to use road bikes on other terrains
  
  
  Then again.. all i have is a little pink foldable bike
  to get here and there.
  
  Hmm.
