Well want to get into mtbiking, casual and some comps. Just getting started. Don't have much to spend, if I can sell my 2 road bikes I can spend more. Any suggestions of bikes then?

This will be fine for some shorter rides but the parts won't last very long.Look in the classifieds,some bargains on 26" bikes.
Try and lend a bike before you sell you road bikes.

The Moab was Schwinn's racier MTB. Up until 2 years ago, these were very nice, good competition bikes. The DCM MTB pro team rode them. However, in the last 2 years, Schwinn have moved these bikes down market and are supplying them with very entry level parts (and are obviously cheaper). Not sure why, but Schwinn have moved down market with their entire range of bikes. Maybe they are trying to appeal to a different market segment.

Even with entry level parts, they are perfect for casual mtbing.
