Hello all, I am looking to start riding mountain bikes with my girlfriend as this is one of her hobbies and need help picking a bike. These are my options so far. For reference I am 6’5” so need a bigger frame. Also our area is generally flat with some local trails but nothing crazy nearby. Eventually would like to take it the mountains though. Looking for ease of upgrading and fixing parts. Any recommendations or thoughts helpful.
The Canondale Trail 8 is a 2×14 drivetrain train and will sell it to me for 225$.

I have a model of that hard rock maybe +/- a year or 2
I’m 6’4 and it fits me well. I’ve done a lot of work to it, but I was riding the hell out of it stock. You’ll probably want to replace the fork (I swapped to Manitou markhor) and the drivetrain (microshift sword 2×10). But you don’t need to do those day 1. Great bike to learn on
350 is pretty nuts though, I’d offer 200-250.
