Wowza, I'm under the impression this wasn't exactly cheap?

@Elessar let's say could have gotten a cheap car instead.

@Bjoern1997 Holy f*ck 😅 I'm planning on getting a MTB and spending maybe €1k on it, and that seemed a lot already 😬😭
Bjoern1997 · 26-30, M
@Elessar this one with everything new costs about 6-7K depending on what parts. I bought it second hand for 1.3k of someone who had no clue what he got there. If you wanna go for a mtb go second hand and be sure what you want to do with it. Like how much travel your suspensions needs and such things. Upgrades are expensive just like repairs and all other stuff.

@Elessar any plan on what you wanna do on mtb?
Elessar · 26-30, M
@Bjoern1997 Oh nothing too fancy, no jumps or the alike. I don't live too far from the Alps so the plan would be going for mountain trails along with a friend who's shown an interest in getting a bike too

(this was rented and absolutely a junk metalware lol, but better than nothing)

Currently I own a gravel bike that is great for the plains where I live, but definitely not for that kind of trails (no suspensions at all 😅)

@Elessar ok so we can talk in €. I'm from germany so makes it easier for me. Going for front shock only or a fully with front and rear?
Elessar · 26-30, M
@Bjoern1997 I think front only 😬 I mean it depends on the budget that I'll manage to allocate next year, and what I can find on the market (indeed I was thinking of getting something second-hand, no point in getting something shiny)
Bjoern1997 · 26-30, M
@Elessar maybe check out the all mountain category not the cheapest bikes but with those you can tackle and normal trail with ease.

@Bjoern1997
I'm currently selling this for 999€ only problem you would need to be tall like atleast 180cm
Elessar · 26-30, M
@Bjoern1997 Looks nice! I'm around ~170cm unfortunately 😅😅
Bjoern1997 · 26-30, M
@Elessar so siize small or medium.
Elessar · 26-30, M
@Bjoern1997 Medium; at least the current one is medium
Bjoern1997 · 26-30, M
@Elessar check ebay for your location and don't buy anything without a test ride.
