may get a used one like Trek 4x mountain bike. 10 yrs ago, when MSRP was about $500, I got a new one at a half price of that and still have it. My go-anywhere bike. a used one should cost under $200. the rear free hub broke once, and other small thing went bad (plus buying new tires, brake shoes, chains, etc.), which is normal for an entry level bike. I fixed it all by myself.
