What would be a good $600 all mountain HT? So far these are th bikes I'm looking at:

Haro Escape- SX-4 drivetain, 130mm Marzocchi MZ, Hayes Mx-4 Mech. disc, $665 (32lbs.)

Rockhopper Disc- Acrea(F)/Alivio(R), 100mm Rock Shox Dart 3, Shimano 415 mech. disc, $660

Hardrock Comp. Disc- Acrea(F)/Alivio(R), 100mm RST Gilla Plus RA, Avid BB5 mech. disc, $600

Would these be decent AM HTs? What HTs do you guys use?

Here's a recent post on HTs.. mostly custom builds though... some of us posted pix on it:

If there are still any leftover hardrock pros-get one in your size! I got mine for $550 a few months back. The fork isn't all that great, but sram shifters and derailers are great, bb5s are great, and the 24/36 chainrings w/ bashguard offer a lot more clearance and durability than 22/32/42. Also-the hardrock geometry isn't stretched-out XC like a lot of other hardtails. It is not a "big-hit hardtail", but it is a fun do-it-all trailbike and a good value.
