No, serious. It's been sometime since I've needed to go bike shopping and I was hoping you burners may be able to help with some shortcuts?
My nephews dad has asked me to help him find a new pushy for the boy since he knows i like 'em my bikes.
So we have a fair idea of what might be suitable and of course I'd like to ask you if you may have suggestions for the bike itself and then importantly where do you get one from? I've had look around on the interwebs and found that I had no idea about the "out of stock" situation.
I'm sort of leaning towards purchasing from a bike shop, local preferably, because I'm not sure of how capable the boys will be to look after the bike. Or, is online the go nowadays & the old uncle will set things up?
the young fella, will mainly ride the suburban streets and has intentions to get out on the trails and parks with his mates when they are able to again.
alloy hardtail
med. frame
air forks, 100-120mm?
29"
prefer shimano running gear
budget $1500 but it appears to me that as you get closer to $2000 there's a step improvement in the spec?
Thanks in advance.
