Can ya'll name me 5-10 brands to look for?
We can probably keep it to 5.
Cannondale
Specialized
Gary Fisher
Giant
Trek
Read up on components/frames and read several reviews. Best advice is go to a bike shop and look around. Tell them what you're looking for and try out a few. Then watch for deals on used bikes.
I lucked into mine new at a discount store. I have a Cannondale with 26 inch tires, but I'm too short to use a 29er.

Really, just look at two, Trek and Specialized(fisher's were Treks and no longer made). But bikes are kind of like Windows computers, they all use a lot of the same components. You need to look at components. Cheap bikes fail bad on the trail

Gary Fisher got absorbed into Trek, so now it's just a sub brand. If he can find an old original Gary Fisher, go for it. I'd take off Giant and add Jamis and Kona.
