specialized, ns, depends on what size your after. or would you consider second hand? might get a bit more for your money that way.

Hey, you should look at a Katmandu. (sorry, just had to say that Nick) But maybe a Devinci District (not sure how much they are ) But they're a nice bike. Or a Black Market Three57 http://www.blackmarketbikes.com/products.php?pg=products&item=bikes This is 1050. Im sure 50 bucks isn't that much If it's 1000, look at these bikes before a Wolverine

If you want a 20" then the verde theory looks great for the money

Any bike is good dude. Try to avoid dirt jumper, marzocchi overall forks tho. Anything with a marzocchi is crap. As for overall bikes, konas and norcos are lowest of the market. Konas frames explode. As for norcos they come with really bad parts. Best advice i could give you is look at reviews of the bike, or what parts it comes with. Then decide if it is really worth your 1000$
