Hi everyone!!
I want to get "serious" into MTB but my current bike, although I really like it is old and shit for MTB, it has this horrible spring fork that doesn't even compress a little by pushing it, old school brakes, yada yada, so I went and scoured second hand and found this bike you see.
it's a Orbea Rallon R3, it's listed at 355€ or ≈$411 for the Americans, as you can see fox suspension, Shimano shifter and disk brakes. the seller said they have recently serviced it before listing it on sale, so everything is functioning as intended
is the price for this old bike worth it? I haven't seen a better price for any full suspension bike, and I think it would be a massive upgrade (and massive hit to my wallet, there goes my Christmas money)
thanks in advance for any answers!!

It looks like the fork is too long for me but i could be wrong
Also a big decision since it’s I buy this bike or buy a HF radio (more expensive than bike) cause I’m getting into HAM radio, but I’m leaning more towards the bike, if its actually good
no, don’t do it. brakes are shit, and very old stuff besides that.
i’d recommend a used trailhardtail, 2020/2021+,
