new to the game...
i havent had a bike for probably 10 years and i am looking to get a new one. probably looking to use it 1-3x a week. i was out looking today and found a few that i liked but not sure if they are any good so i come here for expert advice.
Here are the ones i liked:
schwinn s-60 for $249.99
schwinn s-25 for $199.99
magna excitor for $79.99
triax pk-7 for 99.99
schwinn ranger for 149.99
specialized hardrock xc for $289.99
are any of those good for the price or should i keep looking. im looking to stay under or around $300 and to get a good bike that i can use for a few years. anyone have any suggestions or anything i should be looking for???
Thanks for any help!

Of all the bikes you listed, the HARDROCK XC is a great beginner's bike and can take some abuse. The other ones you've mentioned are only available in the 18" and 19" frame sizes. Visit a Local Bike Shop and asked to get sized.
By the way, that's not a bad price for HRXC if it's brand new.
Have a great ride...don't forget your HELMET....
