Generally speaking, the Giant is a good brand but a more expensive one - here the Outlook can probably be had for ~$175, where I think the entry level Giant mountain bikes retail around $400.

Used is a whole different story.

Mine is a heavier frame than the outlook with a higher travel front suspension and beefier gears, but it was on sale for around $200 when I bought it. My main complaints are the lack of good wheels and tires.

Entry-level Giant can probably be had for $300, though I'm not sure if you'd want it. :) (I think my first might've been $350, and it was pretty good.)

My suspension needs adjustment, and possibly lube. Alas, my tub of Molly Butter is far, far away. So my front fork doesn't travel much at all, though simple adjustment might fix that.

Wheels and tires are quite easy to replace, you know. Well, aside from paying for them beforehand. ;)

Yes, I just have to sink the money in. I'd like to learn to work on the bike, actually. A lot of the work seems pretty simple.

It is indeed, for the most part, and there are some decent reference books out there--though one of the best hasn't been updated in several years now, garnering some complaints in Amazon.com's user reviews.
