Greetings,
This is my first post & I need your recommendations for a good used hardtail mountain bike for around $500.
After checking out my local bike shop and seeing the high prices for new bikes made in China and even higher prices on everything made in the USA it seemed I would do better going used.
What bike would you recommend for someone getting back into the game after a few years off? I had a Gary Fisher but sold it two years ago because of lack of use after having my first child. But now want to get back in the saddle again. I have seen a couple Specialized M4 Stumpjumpers in my price range but am unsure what years they were made in the USA. What other older bikes were made in the US and what would you recommend? I need a 20” to 22”(L to XL) frame size and will be using the bike for mountain biking as well as more relaxing riding with my wife & kid.
Thanks,
John
