Older guy looking to get back in shape. Will ride 55% road, 35% gravel, 10% very light off road. I live on the edge of town, a few miles out in the country. Exercise is a priority, but also running into/around town for small errands. My previous experience: some pretty hardcore BMXing when I was a kid, a very long time ago, and some light mountain biking in college.
I’ve narrowed it down to the following two bikes, but definitely open to alternatives:
a) Haro Beasley 27.5 DLX
b) Trek Dual Sport 3 Gen 5
Both bikes are in my price range, (around $1000 give or take) and seem good for my purposes. I’m ignorant on “components” plus I’m sure there are things I haven’t considered. Feedback greatly appreciated.
