Hi there! I'm new to the site and the sport as well! I'm from Greece and about a month ago i remembered my old bike..
an old crapy mountain bike. I live near forest so i thought it'd be a good idea for me to start biking in the trails of the forest. The thing is that after about 4 times today my rear wheel curved (so it couldn't move). I searched the internet for wheels and other parts for my bike and i also checked for a whole new bike. So i wondered if its better to "fix" my old bike putting some new parts as wheels and brakes or to buy a new one (that will cost no more than 400-500 euros)

well if you describe your old bike as "crappy" then i guess you should buy a new one. is it really that old to be called crappy? and if money isn't an issue, then go ahead and buy yourself a new one. i assume your money won't go to waste since you said that you live near a forest, you'll be using it frequently

well if it's that crappy i think you should buy a new one bec. you might end up spending more than you should if you keep on buying new parts for your bike.

it's better to get parts individually, that way you get the best of everything

first thing one should learn is how not take part in any violence or smile at the thought of it
