Feelin' a bit rrranty
2k is probably a good number if you want to build something too. One of the older XTC frames with the sliding dropouts and a cheap SID (mine cost $300) would be a good basis and shouldn’t be too hard to find on FB etcCheers for that. Something like the rigid is what I'm looking at, can easily hit the bikepath pretty easily and convert to HT later on.
I reckon budget would be 2k-ish but likely more when I get 'researching'
