I bought an almost 30 yo mountain bike, a stump jumper from around 96-98 for 100€, renovated it for close to 400€ (spurgled a bit there), now I have a world championship super fun bike in perfect condition that probably will outlive me :-)

Specialized from that era are great. Still have my Rock Hopper from 2002. Replaced the front shock absorber with a fixed fork (no idea what the English word is) and some ball bearings here and there. Love it
