Hello,

i can't find a decent deal on a mountain or full suspension bike..

can someone comment on this bike from CT: http://www.canadiantire.ca/AST/browse/5/SportsRec/BikesAccessories/BikesFullSuspension/PRD~0711048P/IronHorse+Jumpstart+2012+Full-Suspension+Bike%2C+26-in/CROSSSELL~0711535%20Supercycle%2BVice%2B26-in%2BFull-Suspension%2BBike%2B%2B%2BAdult.jsp?locale=en

i really don't want to spend over $240~ for a bike, just want something which works and will last, nothing fancy

Do you need a full suspension bike? You don't want to go down a mountain on a $240 bike. The risk of the bike failing is way too high.

If you only want to spend $240 on a bike, you are likely to get something higher quality if it has no suspension. Or just get front if you feel you want at least some suspension.

Just want a bike which will go from point A to B. Don't care if its mountain, suspension etc. anything but those skinny tires (road) or bmx. $240 or less, don't want to spend anything more.
