Troll FB marketplace and you can find some good bikes in the $1000-$1500 range. Go 29er for sure.I have a question for you mtn bikers. I raced mtn bikes in the late 80's-90's. I rode a Schwinn Homegrown that I still have, but needs work. I haven't ridden since around 2000 and I really want to get back into it.
What is a good bike for around $1000? Is that even enough for a recreational rider? Would I be better off rebuilding my Homegrown?
Any help would be appreciated.
