Looking for an early 90's hybrid, with no suspension, that can handle some occasionally trail rides with the family but 90% on the road. Ready to move on from a dropped bar road bike, back issues and I am 48 years old. Looking for a 20 -21 inch frame. Is 25 lbs the bottom here? I do not like the aluminum ride and trying to keep the price on the lower side so no Ti or carbons. Not that fond of working on Cantilever brakes but they do work well.

What might be on a short list? Thinking Trek 750/790, Schwinn Crosscut, maybe a Trek 970/990 MTB or Specialized Stumpjumper. Also like the mid 90's Marins but I do not see many for sale. What possible gems am I missing? Lighter is good for spinning up the hills...
