        5k is what I’d consider a midrange bike, in that case. That would get you a very decent full suspension bike, but without getting into things like carbon frames etc.

        You could easily spend twice that.

          I love how you respond to a guy going “people are pricks about bike pricing” with an “ackshulaly $2k is cheap”.

          Zero self-awareness. Zero social skills.

            I’m just laughing about what people think the sport costs, vs what it actually does.

            A truly top of the line bike is over 20k NZD.
