I said "IMO, $1500 would buy a
very nice entry to mid level, hard tail, XC
race bike."
My mistake, I would really consider most bikes in that price range not to be entry level.
If you have a budget of $1500 - $2000, who cares if someone thinks that it is entry, mid, high, pro, or whatever level,
just look for the bikes you like the most in and near your price range,
try some out if possible,
ask what others experiences are with those models,
and use your own judgement to buy a bike that you will like.
