Gary Fisher Wahoo

Other than the crappy little pedals, there isn't much to criticize on this XC hardtail, other than the fact that it doesn't have the cachet of a $1500-and-up, full-suspension mountain bike, or the cool, exotic materials and featherweight construction of a $7500 titanium Moots (Da Bomb!). Note the so-called Genesis geometry that Mr. Fisher invented and is busy perfecting (G2) as a subsidiary now of monster bike-maker Trek.
