I am looking to update my mt. bike. I have 2001 Cannondale F600 which was about a 1100 bike when I bought it. The head shock is shot and the cassette also needs to be replaced. Just wondering what bikes in the 600-1000 dollar range are really popular and that people suggest. I enjoyed my Cannondale but I don’t like the proprietary nature of all the parts and components(like the Head shock). I really want something that has readily available parts and that can use generic parts. I’ll probably start looking at Giant, Specialzed, and Trek.

For less than $1000, honestly I would consider looking at used bikes. Don’t get anything more than 4-5 years old and never pay more than 50% of the original retail price (not including upgrades) for a used bike.
If you prefer to go with a new bike, the big 3 do have bikes to choose from in the $600-1000 range, so be sure to check this out:

If you want another hardtail, check vitus sentier. Hands down the most bike for the money on the planet right now. Around 1100 shipped. Buying a used bike will lead you to the same situation as your other post.

At that budget I would vote too for a new one. Start with what suggested above.
