Lol @Mook, that's a good one! 😂

@Sandro Thanks so much! Appreciate it. Oh wow, really?! I'll stay away then and focus my search on Bikehub. Okay, cool. So my height is 160cm, and my inseam is around 73-74cm. Based on a quick Google search it's apparently recommended that I go for a small size frame. I see @RobertWhitehead has already responded and will check that out now. May I ask what you mean by bike fit?

Good day everyone. I hope all is well! I’m a woman in her late 20’s looking to get into cycling and was hoping I could ask for some advice on which mountain bike would be the best for me? I’m 160cm tall, and my budget is around R3,5k to R5k. I’m also happy (would probably prefer it) to go the 2nd hand route and have been browsing Facebook marketplace, but unfortunately with no knowledge in this area, I have no idea what to look for nor what is a good/bad fit for me. All the different wheel and bike sizes, and different brands have me totally flabbergasted. 😅 I would truly be grateful for any advice you guys could give an ignorant newb. 😁 Thanks so much in advance!
