I am looking for a mountain bike to help me get back in shape. I'm 6'6" and ~225 lbs. I want a good beginners bike that won't set me back a ton in money. I am looking at the $300-$400 range. I haven't ridden a bike in awhile so please provide as much info as possible (frame size, etc) when giving the reccomendation.

I will mostly use this bike on the road and bike paths in my area, but would like it to be good enough to take a trail when I get my skill level and endurance up.
