I paid a bit more for a bike than I expected. Nothing compared to a Dutch person's weekend bike from what I hear. I got it used but the parts are all high quality, I think.

My life changed to being much more bike centric and I'm really happy with the purchase. The frame is carbon and I carry it up and down 5 flights of stairs 2-3 times a week.

Got myself a worldclass mountainbike for 100€, renovated it (in a shop) for 260€ more, use it to roam around in the city, it's light, fun, and the breaks are from anorher world!

Why was it so cheap? It's from like 1998...

But I mean if it was good for world champs then, it's good enough for me today.

Absolutely. The fetishization of "latest and greatest" among non-professionals is weird to me.
