Are treks suitable for mountain biking as compared to the
expesive bikes?

No they are not suitable. You need even cheaper bikes in
order to mountain bike. Check out the Huffy's at Walmart.
Only $99 bikes are mountain bikes.

Is $4800 expensive enough for you? If so, you could look at
a Trek Fuel
100.

Treks come in a variety of prices, from really cheap to
really expensive. What *model* of Trek were you looking at?

Yes and no, depending on what Trek and what "expensive" bike
it's being compared to.

<sarcasm>No, they've just managed to be one of the top-
selling mountain bike brands just because of their cool
name.</sarcasm>

That question is so open-ended and flame-prone that its hard
to tell if you're even serious in asking it.

Seems like the Trek Fuel 100 I just read a review of was
about $4900 and yes, Treks great. Even cheaper ones,
like mine.

Damn, I hate dyslexia. I first read that as "I hope you're

This is funny. The bottom line is that it all starts at the
frame. You could put XTR on a walgoose and it would still
be a walgoose, albeit a $4900 walgoose. There's one born
every minute...
