Like I said I dont have alot of dough to drop, I've checked the local bike shops and they dont have anything used in my price range, so I will just get one from WalMart. I'm not all hardcore into like you guys/gals are. I dont care about speed, if I did I surely wouldnt be buying a bicycle, I dont care about doing sweet jumps off rock cropings or whatever. I just want a bike to ride around town in, to class, and one the bike trail.
Put an advert in a local paper "Wanted-- Cheap bike for Collesge student"- People have bikes in their sheds that were bought on the spur of the moment- used once and never again. I can tell you that amongst the rubbish you are offered there will be one or two Bikes that anyone would love to own. And they will all be cheaper than Wallmart.

On suspension- unless you are paying a lot more money than you are thinking of- Don't even think of suspension Front or Rear. That $80 bike has a suspension fork on it that costs abour $10- Bad suspension forks start at $60 when the original packs up.
