Old school YouTube here. Short niche content, no clickbait or algorithm pushing. Nice birds, love it. I feel like you haven’t been able to browse and just watch simple original content like this since 2015.
My only complaint is it’s three pages down on videos.
+1 to this. A steel frame 90s mountain bike with 26" wheels, some maintenance know how and about $100 in parts will get you thousands of km of riding with much less trouble compared to a fancy aluminium/carbon frame with hydraulic breaks and a drivetrain that locks the moment something goes slightly out of tolerance.
Only caveat is needing to buy some tools, but good tools will last.
