Anyone know if it's possible to get a decent mountain bike with front suspension in this city for around the 550-600 dollar mark? Track geo and 23mm tires is giving me an almost primal urge to ride a bike I can take over rough stuff on weekends but everything I check in the MTB forum seems to suggest that anything under 800 USD sucks and will break instantly. I don't need something that'll stand up to dirt jumping (on account of me being a wimp) just something I can ride down trails and crash into the occasional tree.

I've got birthday money and space on my credit card, gotta get on the spend train
