WesleyDD Posted April 25, 2016 Posted April 25, 2016 Good day I have recently started going on a few rides with my girlfriends father. I have developed somewhat of an itch to ride more and am looking to buy a mountain bike.I am willing to spend about 5000-6000. I am in desperate need of help as I do not even know where to begin?What is a good entry level bike? I went to a cycling shop and they suggest I buy a silverback. However, when I stated that 9000 is out of my spending range, the individual said I must save or else I will waste it on a cheaper bike? Any advice is appreciated.
Veebee Posted April 25, 2016 Posted April 25, 2016 buy second hand on the hub. I'm sure the MTBikers will point out a few good deals for you.

Any advice is appreciated.Are you trying to score brownie points? Ask your future father-in-law for a loan Check the Hub and listen to the advice
BaGearA Posted April 25, 2016 Posted April 25, 2016 If you can save for the silverback do it very reliable and great quality otherwise ask around for names of parts that are durable and long-wearig rather than "light' and 'fast" then use that to buy a good second hand bike loads of great deal on the hub
AlanD Posted April 25, 2016 Posted April 25, 2016 Search here are the hub, you will get a good deal. You can filter the classifieds according to your needs and see what crops up. As far as components, slx is a great start. If you could push the budget up a little bit then that would be great. Assume you have some apparel and helmet as you have been riding as you need money for that.
Sepia Posted April 25, 2016 Posted April 25, 2016 Don't overspend too much on the bike though and save some cash for afterwards. You may have to entertain the father in-law to beers after the races. (You never stop sucking up)
