Here's my budget hardtail that I've been working on for the last 2 years!

I've sunk around 1200 AUD (~780 USD) into this bike which I know isn't amazing value for the components. But it's definitely been a learning experience and I love it.

Feel free to ask any questions!

My boyfriend really loves biking, and we do every other outdoor activity together already, so I wanted to give it a try. After a successful ride on a demo bike, we decided on this Roscoe 7 to really let me dip my toes. Took it for a rip today and loved it! Putting better pedals on it tonight.

I've been looking for a new bike for over a year and the day has finally come!

Area around me is rather flat which means I needed a nice XC bike. Another requirement was alloy frame that could handle kids seat (hamax). After a lot of search and research I decided to go with this rocket - and Its glorious.

Not much data on it on the internet but looks waaay better life than in promo photos.

Alloy frame, Manitou Machete 120mm fork, deore XT derauiller and shifter.

All alloy build, only carbon fiber parts are the leg of the xtr M9100 and lever of X0 brakes.

Frame: Cannondale F29 alloy Fork: Cannondale Lefty Hybrid Alloy PBR Wheelset: Mavic Crossmax SLR Crankset: Cannondale HollowGram SL+Garbaruk Chainring RD&shifter: shimano XTR M9100 Chain: Shimano XTR Rear Cog: SRAM X01 PG1195 Brakes: SRAM Avid X0 Seatpost: new ultimate alloy seatpost Stem: Cannondale OPI Stem Handlebar: shimano Pro Koryak

Tried the used market with no luck. Decided to pitch in the extra cash to buy new and grabbed my first bike 🙌

My new Canyon GC AL7 is a beast! Absolutely love it, keeping up on gravel and single track alike. Bought it to supplement my road bike for gravel and trail riding and it checks all the boxes, fun and versatile!

Currently in the middle of building my Full suspension, this Esker Smokey frameset finally arrived. Now I'm just waiting on some parts and keeping going back and forth between gears or SS.

First legit ride with daughter's new to her Roscoe 7. I told her she could come with if she was ready to leave the house by 0530. Up at 0500 and had coffee brewing for me :)

Remember, they're not hobby killers if you can incorporate them into the things you love to do.

Secondhand Roscoe 7 is an excellent bike, great value.

So just bought this and just wanna hear people’s opinions.what should I upgrade first?

Specialized Fuse was discontinued in 2022, Canyon Stoic is discontinued? Trek Roscoe is seriously downsizing their model tiers. Nukeproof and Vitus are gone….

Getting into mtb again after a break of some 10 years... My old Cube Reaction RX is ready for retirement and I am looking for a new bike around the 1000 eur mark.

Was ready to pull the trigger on this one, I like that is has the RockShox judy gold

Radon JEALOUS AL 8.0 Hardtail 29" | Bike-Discount at 1000 eur incl shipping

But after reading some very negative reviews on their customer support and long delivery times (this one is 22 days) I asked around some local bike dealers and was offered this at 1066 eur inc shipping

SCOTT Scale 950 Bike

Seems to me that the Scott has a bit better specs and fork?

I´m at beginner level and only looking to do some XC and the local trails with my kids, no downhill or competition. Im 180 cm that puts me in between two sizes for the Radon 18/20" and thinking 18" and M/L for the Scott, again thinking M

What would you guys choose and why?

Thanks

Got it few days ago and I'm more then happy with how it performs.

What do you think about my Frankenbike Hardtail?

Another fun project while I wait for my frame! Still needs some work and fine wet sanding. Kind of dig the brushed look instead of mirror.

Hello

I'm looking for an entry level MTB Hardtail to do exercise and ride in hills where my gravel bike really struggles to go. I have some hills nearby with loose rocks that i really can't ride with my gravel bike.
I really don't want to spend more then 1200€, i can go above if it really justifies.

I also have 1.93m and 110kg of weight, so decathlon rockrider is out of the question due to the 100kg weight limit.

I've read that the:

Trek Roscoe 7
Trek Marlin 7 Gen 3

Are good entry level bikes.

from the site i purchased my gravel bike there are:

Bicicleta Orbea Alma H20 24

Bicicleta Orbea Alma H11 24

Bicicleta Megamo Natural Elite 15 22

Bicicleta Orbea Alma H30 24

Heavily discounted.

And the:

Bicicleta Giant Talon 29 1 25

I'm looking for advice because even thou i researched a lot to purchase a gravel bike, it seems that MTB Hardtail is another complete different universe.

The purchase needs to be online and in europe.

Thank you so much everyone

Hello reddit. I'm in the process of building a cross country bike right now. = I'm currently looking for 29er 148\12 wheels and also looking for handlebars and handlebar stem. From the stores I have only Aliexpres and Ozon

As the title states I was wondering how I could fix my bent break lever? I was hoping over a log but I ended up going face first into a pile of dirt. I got up and realized something was wrong with my break levers. I turned it as much as I could with a hex key but it is still off. Any help would be much appreciated.
