i have made the decision to drop money on a decent bicycle. my budget is set at $500 max and would like some info on what brands to go to and which to stay away from. i am leaning towards a mountain bike. i will mostly be riding paved bike trails but occasionally riding off road(grassy hills) and i also plan on riding on the sand dunes. that is the most off road i plan on doing. realistically i would like to spend around $300 but will spend up to $500 if need be. from the little research i have done TREK seems to be a very reputable brand.
i have never owned a bicycle and have never ridden on sand dunes but i am looking forward to doing this, although i dont even know if its possible to ride on sand dunes with a mountain bike.
