I’m a high school student, and I absolutely LOVE bike riding. I’m looking to buy a nice, excellent-quality bike but I’m not too well-informed on bicycle qualities, brands, and specifications. (weight, material, size, durability, speed ability, age, etc).
I usually ride on paved-trails (waterfronttrail.org), and occasionally gravel or dirt paths. And I really delight in long bike rides (went for a 10 hour ride last Sunday, woohoo!). Which bike would be appropriate for me? Why? And what do you reflect of the prices?? …

Too Much Info. Just Go To Free Agent Bikes. They Go From Trail, To Mountain, To Trial Bikes. Check It.
for sure the trek. treks are very high quality bikes!
go to a bike shop in your area and get fitted for frame size. The bike has to fit your body size. Then point out a bike that will cover the terrain you want to travel. With your restricted knowledge I wouldn’t buy a used bike as you may waste your money on a bike that needs repair or is the incorrect fit. Stick with a local shop that wants you as a repeat customer. Buy the highest quality bike you can afford as upgrading components in the future can be more expensive. Question plenty of questions and test ride a few bikes before buying, a excellent shop must help you make a better choice than relying on answers from this site
