Any Of These Used Mountainbikes Worth A Buy?
I'm looking for a reasonably priced used mountain bike that I can ride around the city and up some trails, but I don't know much about mountain bikes.
Can anyone tell me if any of the three from the Craigslist ad below look promising?

Thanks.

The photos aren't good enough to tell you much, and there are other things that would have to be inspected in person, like the condition of the wheels, bearings and forks.

3000 THB is just under $100 US, so I'd say for a non-vintage Trek or Gary Fisher (assuming them to be fully functional) that's not a bad deal.

Get the one that fits. The Gary Fisher is gigantic. The other two are medium-ish.

A good bike should have at least a front fork suspension, and you’ll have to pick the right size to suit your needs. Anyone at a bike shop will be able to help you out. You can get a good-enough bike for about $100.
