Old steel MTB for commuting

Hi, I'm looking for an old steel MTB meant for commuting / towing duty for a kids trailer.

Prefer something with a rigid fork like a rockhopper, trek antelope, trek 7XX, and possibly priced below £150 would be great.

Not too fussy about cosmetics, just needs to be fully functional~

I am 6ft with short legs (32" inseam)

Will be in London this Sunday, but based in Oxford if anything nearby is available will be available anyday for viewing/collection.

Update; got a really great offer on a mint looking 1999 Hardrock on eBay, much excitement!

Any good? (not mine) https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/195574012024

Looks good enough. Will try bidding on that 👌 thanks mate

I rode one of those to Switzerland in 1987. Lovely bike. It will serve you well!

I've a near mint condition Raleigh Tigershark (Cro-Mo frame). 8x3 STIs (shifts brilliantly), QR front and rear wheels with stainless steel spokes and hardly an rim wear. nice low gears 22/32/42 + 12-30.
I'd like £150

Also have a very nice old skool Carerra, Cro-Mo frame, 7x3, trigger shifters again, RST front suspension but not overly heavy. £125
I'm a bit out your way based in Letchworth Garden City but give me a shout if interested.

Thank you for the offer everyone, appreciate it! But I sorted this on ebay with a bike in Reading, will be picking it up today 🥳

The Dawes went for £100 - I was really tempted but I don’t need another vintage MTB right now.

Got a notified on that Dawes

Looking pretty mint, hoping its mechanically sound and ready to ride as is.

Ridiculous price for that, full length mudguards to boot, nice score!

Just picked it up, can't stop smiling all the way to the train station 🤭
