When you haven’t been mountain biking in 10 years it’s hard to get back into the game. A LOT has changed! And let’s be honest. Dropper posts are scary! 😂

New bikes are super sick but for 800 bucks you could get an old steel hardtail have someone rebuild the fork and have a pretty damn good time. Or you could buy for a round 800 bucks a good enough steel bike from State bicycles which honestly for 90% of riders is probably going to be just fine. I try to remind myself sometimes when I'm getting frustrated on the bike that the most fun I probably ever had on a bike was this shitty "Spalding" branded bike that my dad bought me at Sears in 1990. That said, I've also broken frames in half doing dumb shit, so my bike should be at least as strong as I are stupid😂

@@DanoFSmith-yc9tg the North American and European bikes you’re referring to are manufactured in Taiwan. Those factories sometimes sell their bikes locally, particularly gray market stuff can be affordable because most of the people in those countries could never afford the markups that we accept. They may not be allowed to sell the bikes locally, but some make it out at the hands of the employees. Source: I work in the bike industry
