Looking to get into mountain biking – casual trail riding, nothing aggressive – overall looking to try it out and see if I like it. Maybe get some speed on green trails and might check out some yellow trails if I am doing well.
I’ve done a lot of research and still find myself not very confident in making a decision on my first bike purchase lol
Is this a good deal? I’m 5 foot nine and about 175 pounds if that matters.
They are asking for $350
Thanks!

Your height definitely matters. Before any suggestions start pouring in about the price, do you know what size that frame is? I have a sneaking suspicion it’s a Small (those 27.5” wheels look huge on it), and at 5’9” you’re at the upper end of Medium. The seller really ought to include a detail like that in their listing.
ETA: What are “yellow” trails? [These](https://www.imba.com/sites/default/files/content/resources/2018-10/IMBATrailDifficultRatingSystem.jpg) are the difficulty ranking symbols you need to know. There’s also red, for “pro line” – but you don’t need to worry about that
That’s would be a ripping first bike!
