I have about $150 to spend and have narrowed it down to these choices:
2000 Trek 800 Sport. I got them down to $140 but that still seems high for a 14 year old bike:
Trek 800 Sport Mountain Bike
Good: Better brand name, owner claims to have only used it for 2 years
Bad: 14 years old, steel frame, no suspension, no warranty
Or this new bike that despite being a walmart bike seems to get decent reviews:
29" Genesis Bike, GS29 - Walmart.com
Good: New w/warranty, aluminum frame, 29" wheels, decent reviews
Bad: Not the best brand name
Which is the better buy? I'm not looking to hit the trails every day.. Will be used mostly for riding around town and occasional off road.
