Looking for a bike to ride

[overthefalls]

Hi guys i am looking for a new bike. Have around 3k to spend. Id like trading acces but it seems to be hard to get it here. I dont think its reasonable. If you use your brain you can search for articles and things for bike specs and other riders opinions so for me its just a matter of finding the right bike. I have missed a few bikes on farkin that have been right up my ally but have been unable to contact sellers because of trading acces. Its a bit das that this webiste has to enforce these restrictions. We are all riders and just want to ride to be happy.

Possible rides......any suggestions my ears are open.
old bike was a2006 norco six

something with good specs and dual front chain rings. not too heavy.

thanks for your time peoples

You don't "need" trader access, just PM the sellers ;)

And it's not hard to get it, if you read the topic for how to get access it tells you what you need to do.
