Depending on where you live, you can have mine for a price less than your budget, or you could get a new one. It's a gray Swobo Folsom in the 22" frame size (for people from about 5'10" to 6'2" I'd say. Btw I'm in southwestern Ohio.

It definitely has mountain bike style, with relaxed angles and the whole lot, however it only has a coaster brake in the rear and relatively low gearing (60 gear inches). As my first "real" bike, mine has served me well over the past three years as a commuter on the 3 mile trek to and from school, as a general throw-around/lock-up bike, and, when outfitted with the suspension fork it has now, as an ss off-road trail machine. In retrospect though, I would say the price is a bit steep for what it is, but I can't complain about how reliable it has been. Good luck!
