Well this will be my first Mountain Bike in years and it will be my first serious mountain bike. I'm
currently looking in the sub $1000cad level and most likely will buy something around 2 years old
since I will end up with a better bike for cheaper.
What should I look for when buying used? (I'm trying to find bikes with little wear like from people
that bought a nice bike and then lost interest).
Would it be better to buy a lower end frame with high end components that might be slightly more
used or something with a better frame and a mix of components mostly lower mid range.
I am mostly looking at hardtails since they are more in my price range such as the 2001 Norco
Sasquatch and some others but I also found a 2001 Kona Manomano for a really good price. I don't
think I need FS, it would be more of a luxury item since I will be doing more onroad riding at first
until I find some people to ride with.
Thanks for any help.
