Sorry. Nothing close to a comfort bike. Period correct mtb. It's a Trek 830 Mountain track. Looks to be about 1994-5 by this chart:
Trek Bike Models by Year and Color
The step thru was just the female model of the entry level diamond frame mtb of the day. Same build and components for the most part. Solid but nothing special as with the men's 830.
That Mongoose looks nice though! Decent dropouts and fork ends.
The early mtb's were initially called all terrain bikes (ATB) so it would place that one as an early to mid 80's model.
