I am looking for a full suspension bike and i came across a older (2001 or 2002) Gaint warp DS1 and i am wondering if that bike would be good for city as well as mountian.

Frankly saying no bike is good for both of these at the same time...

If you are new to riding don't start with a dual suspension. You will get more for your money with a hard tail, it will be lighter too and more fun to ride.

Agreed. Especially if you want to ride the same bike on the streets. Spend $500 on a used hardtail and when the fork and parts wear out, replace them with better ones, which will up the performance and reduce weight. XT and X9 components are a great buy, and I've found the Race Face XC Evolve line is huge bang for the buck.

And dual-suspension has come a long way since 2001. Be ready to drop $1500 on a good bike when you're ready for a dedicated MTB.
