I was doing some research and geez there is so much to consider. I'm bound to have regrets later on after my first purchase due to my own ignorance, so here I am. Hoping some insight can help prevent that
Hardtail MTB seems appealing. Our local roads are horrible, and there are tons of light off-road paths here along the beach to enjoy.
My budget for a used bike is about R8500ish, so I'll be a bit limited I believe. I'm 1.83m tall. Someone said I should look at getting a '29er'? Which bikes would you guys reccommend in this budget for me?
I've heard if gravel bikes too but those just sound like road bikrs with thicker tires. Cant imagine that does fantasticly off-the-beaten-path?
Thanks for any input!
