Thanks for answers. Hi-Teen steel. Really bad or not? I know that hi teen frames are heavier than chromoly.

It's not the frame material that's the problem - hi-tensile steel is a perfectly good choice, just slightly heavier than a butted frame made of one of the higher strength alloy steels. Some of us don't see any point in having suspension on bikes, and we avoid buying or riding such machines. I have several MTB's, all fully rigid frames, and all made of either hi-tensile or Reynolds cro-moly steel.

Even the weight doesn't matter that much if there is little in the way of hills. Assuming the frame is properly made, it will ride well.
