New bike advice.
Not sure whatsout there nowadays. Assuming moneys an issue…
I feel like a used steel suspensionless mountainbike would be best for you.
And cheapest.
Spend balance on cool accessories, bags, pump, cool saddle.
I love old mountain bikes 80 s to early 90s .. Overbuilt, will last a long rime.
26 inch wheels stronger better for trailer pulling won’t taco as easy.
Just my opinion.
If moneys not an object I have a different opinion.
Thanks. Should have mentioned in my previous post, but budget is around $400.
400 is low. Personally I’d go w the old steel mtn bike and get fancy new tires– google schwalbe big apple. Those are great. And a Brooks saddle. And a carradice bag. That will be styling and around 400.00
and no carbon fiber in that price range anyway
Another good video about builders trying to source their materials from US manufacturers.
Let’s face it, the government is NOT going to protect our jobs; they are bought and paid for by the very people who have raped this country and hollowed out our manufacturing base. It’s up to us — every single one of us — to turn things around for ourselves.

Well, I still use my Schwinn traveler 12 speed roadbike I had since 1990…They were still made in the USA back then… The frame and fork at least. The cranks, gears, seats, brakes were all shimano already i think.
I never got a mountain bike. Sort of want one now…
With all this software shit I normally do, I admit I wish I had the means of starting some small times niche manufacturing gig in the U.S. I do get all giggly seeing folks push the limits here.
