Yes, all those Trek Chrome Moly framed MTBs are really good all around bikes.I kinda' wish I hadn't sold the last one- it was a girls frame 820, and it was really easy to pull out and ride-sometimes you just don't feel like swinging your leg over a high top tube.
I like to ride my bikes for a couple of minutes -during breaks/commercials in the evening.I think it helps me lose weight to take short rides a a couple of minutes in the evenings-the little Trek was great for that. It had twist shifters which I love. For some reason-all my bikes have trigger shifters-never got around to changing them to twist shifting.
