    I am considdering buying an ATB.  Primary use will be around town
    and some light off road use (no racing).  I also intend to pull
    a bugger with it on short 10-50 mile day trips.
    
    Questions:
    
    1) Suggested makes/models?
    2) Are they available used? (does any one have one they want to
    sell?)
    3) Are they as much fun as they appear to be?
    
    Thanks for any help,
    
    Karl

|     ROSS makes several models from $250 up.  They are great for just
    about anything you want to do on a bike.

|     re:which ATB
    
    A friend of mine who owns a bike shop in California recommends, for
    an entry level ATB, the Mongoose model with an indexing shift system
    which should be hitting the market right about now.  At approx.
    $320 it should destroy the competition in this price range. Incidently,
    he unfortunately does not carry Mongoose.
    
    ATB's are MUCH fun.
