I started on a Apollo SS, it got me back into the hobby. I can do all my own basic maintenance so I was able to flip it for a profit.
Bought a few MTB, did the same for 3X profit(Lucky to live in an area where we have famous Mountians, & decent roads to ride on), & worked my way up to bikes in the $1500+ range. I now own 3 of these, plus a few others I can easily sell for a profit.
I'm thinking of selling a few of them to get a nice carbon road bike/frame to build up.
Do some research, learn what to look for, & what to stay away from.
