Save your money and find a better, more updated bike. bikes have come a long long way since when that was made. It would be fine for riding around town though

Worth 80 bucks, maybe; worth riding, no.

What kind of a budget do you have Scotty? I'm going to go (slightly) against that grain and say that that mountain bike is probably better than no mountain bike. So if $80 is what you have to spend, then that will get you pedaling at least. If you aren't a good mountain biker or are planning on pretty mild trails, you might be surprised at how far you can get with barebones / bottom barrel equipment.

Generally, if it has a kickstand ..... :)

I have a basic one I bought for 150 from Walmart a few weeks ago it good on flat stuff but going up hill even because slightly inclined is mostly me hiking with the bike and yes it has a kick stand. I also have lots of stuff for trade if anyone needs nice house bedding. Ky budget is Lucky if I make week from weeks. 7 year at my job started in two weeks hoping for a raises.
