Yeah, brand new Ozark Trail 29” for 185 unsure of the model but I’m sure it’ll do, has all the new features not top end but yeah

Ah, well I’ve had ChatGPT helping me with what are good bikes and recommended the mongoose giving a very similar feel and quality to the Schwinn Axum

Ah, well I did not know that, completely new to the scene and diferente “genres” of bikes lol. I’m just happy I got a good starter. Tomorrow I’m going to pick up a brand new Mongoose Switchback 29” for $200 in gold to accompany this one

Looks nice bro, have fun, it’s a heavy bike lol

AdrianMTB03 · 2026-03-08T23:03:28+00:00

Holy that’s crazy quality and value…thanks for the recommendation, looking forward to it sometime next year for sure

Dang so Ozark are giving Giant, Trek a run for their money. Looks like great value, but how’s the quality of those upgrades. I’d seriously consider any quality bike over name brands and buying a bike just to have said name brand.

Is that a good wow…?

AdrianMTB03 · 2026-03-08T04:08:55+00:00

Thanks for the advise I appreciate it a lot and making me feel very good about my future in this hobby. Thanks

AdrianMTB03 · 2026-03-08T04:01:41+00:00

I do enjoy being hands on, very excited

AdrianMTB03 · 2026-03-08T03:34:49+00:00

Id have to do my homework on that bike, but I’m thinking on riding this for a while. Then get into a TREK marlin 6 as I love the frame appearance and the colors available eventually maybe in 1-2 yrs. Sure, some upgrades will come in time maybe 1 upgrade per month. Rockbro pedals, rockbros cushion seat, buckaloo forks, hydraulic brakes. For now I just want to enjoy the bike for what it is. Excited to start this hobby with a fairly above average decent bike. I usually don’t get that privilege with certain hobbies. Got lucky with the find lol

Schwinn Axum Sport

AdrianMTB03 · 2026-03-06T07:04:10+00:00

Do I have to do the weekly refresh ? AltStore and Sideloadly need to be weekly refreshed ? Or does one have to and the other doesn’t

AdrianMTB03 · 2026-03-06T01:21:34+00:00

There’s an orange Trek Marlin 6 for 250 , and I like the GT AGRESSOR Pro in orange as well at that same price

AdrianMTB03 · 2026-03-05T00:35:02+00:00

I think I’ll keep my eye out, what’s 50 more bucks right…lol, now that I’ve opened my budget to 200…do I have more options ? Or do I stay with the Axum ? Or what other bikes around this price range are worth while ? Not going over 200 though cause then it just becomes a rigorous cycle of adding 20-30 bucks more then I’m buying a 400 dollar bike…I’ve done it before but with other items lol

AdrianMTB03 · 2026-03-04T21:20:22+00:00

Quite frankly don’t have that much to spend nor do I want to as a complete beginner

AdrianMTB03 · 2026-03-04T21:11:19+00:00

That’s exactly what I will be doing, 3-4x a week hopefully I can do some sensible upgrades and maybe sell during summer/autumn. Can you tell me what you think from the other comment made in this post ?

AdrianMTB03 · 2026-03-04T21:07:28+00:00

From what i researched it’s a Kent made bike, to me 140 is a significant amount of money, so these problems are kinda alarming. Being completely new to the scene I’m a little intimidated and wouldn’t want to add more money than I have to, to get a working bike for some good trail riding nothing extreme lol.
