I've been rocking an older Giant Yukon since about '95 -- while nothing special, it's done the job and been a great bike for me. I've beat her up pretty good... I'd say its time to replace the chain, derailer, brakes-- possibly upgrade the front fork and throw on some new rubber grips. Probably new tires/wheels wouldn't hurt either... so in short, I think the frame and seat are still good
I've also been entertaining a bike wishlist of sorts -- thinking full suspension is a bit overkill, but sure front suspension, disc brakes, 29ers all look like nice features that I may like in my next bike...
The leader may be a slightly used Kona Caldera -- but here's a few I've been looking over online....

I'll probably go to some LBS to see what they have in the slightly used or last year model categorys, but any thoughts on what way you'd go with 500$ or less? of the features of newer bikes, which ones are the must-haves or priority/most important? Alternatively, I keep rocking my older bike until I can save up for something that will last me another 10-15+
