What mountain bike would do well for me?

I have just started to get seriously into mountain biking. I just recently broke my bike on the trails (it was more of a sports bike, not a mountain bike). I am 5 foot 8 inches and I way 120 lbs ( I am a girl). I am interested in the Trek 3700 hardtail. It seams to be a decent bike for $400.00. I plan on putting some work into it (a new seat with a shock obsorber. basket pedals). If anyone has any suggestion on what an appropriate size for me is and any other points of avice please let me know.
THANKS!
 
a trek 3700 is an ok bike but if you broke your old bike you may need something more bombproof as the trek 3700 is a xc bike, than again if your old bike was a crappy department store bike, that is understandable. your bike shop will tell you a good size, but 16 inches is probably good. any bike I could recomend to you would be a bit higher in price but if I was only going to spend 400 i would get a trek. or maybe look in to something used.

MAKE SURE YOU GET A HARDTAIL, UNLESS YOU WANT TO SPEND MORE THAN 900
 
if your old bike broke then you must be doing some punishing stuff. a trek isnt really that great a bike so maybe look around and invest in a better, stronger bike :)

your the same size as me and my bike is 18"
