Got myself a worldclass mountainbike for 100€, renovated it (in a shop) for 260€ more, use it to roam around in the city, it’s light, fun, and the breaks are from anorher world!
Why was it so cheap? It’s from like 1998…
But I mean if it was good for world champs then, it’s good enough for me today.
The repair shop has a 5 star only rating on google, the guy: oh yeah it was 26" back in the day, the three gears in front, the parrallax breakes, oh the bomber fork, the … and on and on, every thing with “they don’t do that any more” but he managed to find replacements for everything worn out. 5/5 !

And there wasn’t an issue finding parts? Good work!

Absolutely. The fetishization of “latest and greatest” among non-professionals is weird to me.
