I am new to the scene of MTB’ing and I would like to know if this bike is a quality bike for about 0. I have a price range of about 0-1000 (maybe) and I am interested in a hard-tail, but I found this full suspension for 0 so I said why not. I am looking to do a little bit of everything. I would like to have a MTB to do everything such as commute on city streets, downhill, jumping and uphill. None of those to an extreme, but I would say for moderate difficulty and abuse. If this isn’t a good bike where can I get a decent hard-tail (Full Suspension would be nice if it is a quality bike) that will perform all of these tasks with ease and be big enough for a 6’7" guy like me to ride? I also saw videos on snapping forks. What are some brands that are durable because I don’t want my forks to break. A list of brands that are quality producers (not too expensive) of MTB’s would be appreciated. Thanks!

**Here is a link with a picture of the bike with some specs

I don’t want to do any major jumping just a few medium sized jumps and getting decent air. Also what is the main reason a hard-tail can’t be used for downhill?

I have a 86 mustang (v6 auto) that im making a 5.0 (v8 5-speed) and the 5.0 has posi and chp suspension so in swapping it im thinking i should change the gears now because i have the rear end out…

I seen this on ebay ya…. no…. what do you think and what ratio for a 5.0 street/track mustang???

They are like little blocks you stick in your suspension.

Does it look like there’s a leak? I’m paying 0 for it. Everything works on it. Needs a new oil pan and bolt for the transmission. He said it makes a thud when you first start driving the car due to the suspension.

Also, this sound like a good deal?
Correction: Not the suspension, because of the bolt.
If it’s not a good deal. What else can I buy with 0?
