My budget for the bike, service and possible upgrades is 800€
My height is 178cm (5.8) and my weight is 75kg (165lbs)
I want the bike to ride in town, bunny hop and manual here and there (I was an ex BMX guy), but I really want to go mountain too. I do not intend to become the fastest Downhill rider, nor I intend to make the biggest-scariest jumps of the mountain, but riding down every trail really fast and doing tricks on small jumps is what I desire. Also, it really matters to me to be able to ride uphill on the mountain, since I do not have a car to reach the top
Lastly, I really want to ride tubeless since trails in Greece have a lot of splinters/thorns, and I would like to have a dropper post to be able to switch the bike from jumps-tricks mode to uphill ride mode
So, I have gathered this list of every bike that is or can be upgraded to the final form of my own MTB
Sadly, I am completely new to MTB so I am not sure which one is the best decision
I would appreciate some help <3
