Hi,

I was into this sport several years ago and had a specialized that i customized and ended up paying $2k for. I sold it and got out of the sport but now want to get back in, but strictly for exercise. So i'm 100% uninterested in how nice the bike is or any of that. In fact, i'd like to find a used one for $75-100. But before i do i thought i'd post and see what bikes you would recommend as being very good bang for the buck and close to being as easy to ride as much higher end stuff. I know that in not just bikes but in all things there are always a certain few models that are dirt cheap but somehow manage to be much closer to the higher end stuff than their price tag would suggest. I'd just like to know what those are in the mountain bike category. Thanks in advance.

All dirt fire roads. I did look at CL but was surprised at how few mountain bike entries there were. Maybe just a slow time there right now. But in any case, i just need to know specific models that fit the criteria i described well.
