Trying to make this a combo of a question and a PSA for where to find deals on new or slightly used bike. I am in the market for a Trail/All Mountain/Enduro bike and have about $2500ish to spend. In the past I've always gone pinkbike or craigslist but my budget is high enough to possibly be buying a new bike and I like the idea as I've had some great luck and some not so great luck buying used bikes.
I've spent a slightly embarrassing number of hours trying to find deals on quality new bikes and this is what I've come up with and I'd like to share and hope people can add to it.
