When you haven’t been mountain biking in 10 years it’s hard to get back into the game. A LOT has changed! And let’s be honest. Dropper posts are scary! 😂

    “Is mongoose still top of the line?”
  • 800 is the official number that won't get you killed by the wife unit. 👍

    "I've got $800. That should be enough to get myself a pretty sick mountain bike, right!?". Yes. Yes, you're right. It absolutely SHOULD BE.
  • @Reall
    800 dollars in weekly payments for the next 12 years 🤣
  • so true, used to love biking as a kid, thought id treat myself and splash £1000 on a bike, turns out my options were limited😂
  • @DemonDrummer
    As a non-bike person in search of a new bike…this is my inner monologue.
  • @Ferrari255GTO
    I have 800 bucks looks at e-bike Shop owner: yeah, you're a bit short buddy

    My first time at a real bike shop years ago: "I'm gonna drop $500 on sick bike and get gear too!" (...cheapest bike in there was 3x that, no pedals.)

    I bought my Trek 4500 in 2004. Brand new for $550. I still have and ride it to this day. It’s been through brakes, tires, and a cable. Still has everything else stock. Even the seat and handgrips. They are a little rough but the bike is awesome. It SO heavy compared to today’s bikes. 😊

    A $5k bike, a $100k pickup truck, $6.50 / gal fuel and a $10 cup of coffee. The world has gone CRAZY!

    My old 2007 Specialized Rockhopper is still serving me well today. Solid bicycle!!
  • @neova2
    I bought my first bike in 30+ years and was told that $1500 to $2000 is considered entry level 😬
  • @josh_yep.
    Hee...Try buying your first motorcycle in 22 years! "Where's the choke?" "Where's the reserve tank?"...Guy looked at me like I was a time traveler!😄
  • @kentwoods2059
    Extremely relatable lol. You should have added in the 27.5” and 29” wheels too!
  • As someone who works at a bike shop we get calls all the time "I got 400 bucks what you got for me?" uhm legitimately can't sell you anything unless we got a used one on our floor
