I read about people asking how much you need to pay for a decent mountain bike in America. Most will say something over $1000. Maybe a good price for a decent, but not too expensive, mountain bike would be $2000. A lot of people pay around $250 to $300 for a fairly decent mountain bike here. Let's say you want something even better, it would still be well under $1000. I am close to where the bikes are manufactured. Most of the cost in America is transport and profit. I get shocked how much things really cost.

You can get a good indication of prices if you search alababa.

Keep in mind, most bikes sold in America are made in Asia. The same bikes are much cheaper in Asia.
