I haven’t looked at a mtb magazine since the late 90s, i missed all the huplah about changing wheel sizes and everything seems well retarded and specialized as I look through... but they are still just bicycles, with unreal inflated prices (went into a trek corporate store, hilarious... “down country”? More like down syndrome.)
So last night as I was searching for a slx crankset (full groups used to be everywhere and cheap on there , aint looked for 4 years..) I came across some full bikes that don’t start at $6,000 with shit components...
These start at $1,000 with shit components ...
Any clue about any of these frames ?? I want that nukeproof scout, it looks fun, pretty sure the $1200 bike is full hobo parts, will I be able to ride till it breaks? or just be pissed at how they work n spend more $$ right away...
I have no clue about components, my current bike has 2x6 gears - half a 1999 XT cassette dangling on my hope single speed shell..
Any advice ? Nukeproof I believe was a uk brand back then that made strong parts, never heard of vitus... 275 or 29?? 29 rolls nice but i think my trials body needs light/whippy.
