Just an update.. I have decided to go for the Liv. Thanks for the encouragement, being so remote I have gotten used to buying stuff without seeing it but with you guys backing me I felt confident to take the plunge. Happy riding 😁🚴

I have no problem with it being "old school". Sounds like just what I need! Thanks for your input

Thank you everyone for your guidance. I'm quite serious about this bike. I like that it has been serviced and that everything should be in good working order. Also it's from a well reviewed second hand dealer since I'm buying without actually seeing it. Will appreciate your input: Giant Liv Bliss 27.5 (650B) 27.5 inch Medium frame 21 Speed Aluxx Aluminium Liv Alloy rims Giant tyres *Like New* Shimano 7 x 3 rapid fire shifters Shimano Tourney front derailleur Shimano crank Shimano Tourney rear derailleur Shimano 7 Speed cassette (MegaRange) SR Suntour shock Tektro disc brakes Quick release wheels Quick release saddle height adjustment Water bottle holder *Serviced* *Excellent condition* Price: R4950

Thanks for the advise. I'm looking forward to starting this journey! I unfortunately need to buy online and courier as we are quite remote and bicycle shopping with small children is not my kind of fun. Most of the ads I've seen are 26inch tyres. Is there a reason why I should rather be considering 29inch? Also when looking at comfortability are we talking about the seat? Assuming frame size is right.

Hi All, Please give me some advice with what brands or bikes I should consider. I am looking to buy a mountain bike. I live on a farm and have mostly flat gravel roads. I am a female, 165cm. My main aim is to enjoy riding with my kids, maybe in time do some fun races with them. I am looking to buy second hand but don't want to spend a lot but also want something that will last. I hope to buy right first time that will last 10+ years. Is a budget around R4000 gonna cut it? Then.. should I get a small or medium frame. Thinking hardtail.
