New here? 90s mtb w/ slicks.
>>1077152
90s mtb is the Mosin nagant
>>1077153
It's both then, since it fits your Glock description accurately.
trek 820 antelope
>>1077155
This.
Or a 90s Specialized Hard Rock
3 gear hub gear old af bike
I know nothing about guns, but judging by your description, 90s rigid mtb with semislicks. Post in >>>/n/bbg for help picking one out
>>1077232
Glock 19 is a model of handgun that can be obtained cheap (except in California), carried on the person regardless of body type (except in California), and can be shot profciently by anyone due to the 9mm parabellum caliber.
No frills, definitely not high end.
The Walmart microwave of guns
I would say giant defy aluminum frame claris level components.

>what is the thing no one actually needs but "rugged self reliant" dudes delude themselves into thinking it's totally gonna be useful when the shit hits the fan of bikes
Fatbike with knobby tires used for sunday rides on the MUP in full kit, with a hi-viz yellow vest, knee pads, and a full face helmet

Ha
it often stands out when gun culture meets bicycling. USA USA
calm on the surface but paddling like mad underneath
>>1077253
The thing that gets me is that he still isn't wrong. I own guns too but man some people really do delude themselves.
feast your eyes on the glock of the bike world.

Pussy libtards are closed minded. Agree with me or you're a Nazi hurr Durr protest Milo hurr Ant-Man
Oh shit the trump supporter we threw a brick at has a gun?! I thought shillary banned them all!
>>1077150
>largely made out of black stuff that isn't metal
>explodes
Hmm, buy a Chinese carbon bike
A bike that randomly explodes?
Probably a magnesium frame with chipped paintwork, if you ride on the rain.
>>1077286
9mm Glocks are fine it's the .40sw and 45acp that had generation models exploding

This is a wise answer:
>>1077319
My answer would be something like a mid-level Jamis Coda or a Trek FX. Everything is good enough for anyone who doesn't need to do anything special
>>1077150
Glock 19 is not like a 90's mtb. It's a flat bar road bike
90's mtb is moist nuggest
Drop bar road bike is glock 17
12g is full suspension mtb
Ar15 is cyclocross
Ak is mtb
>>1077150
Pure Fix or whatever fixieshit is a glock. Both are pieces of shit that are a gun and a bike respectively.

Surly Cross Check?

honestly im gonna have to go with
>>1077359
specifically the new flatbar version they have out with a 1x drivetrain. it's fairly cheap, steel frame means reliable, and it's super versatile, as opposed to the mountain bikes people are posting which are, well, mountain bikes. made for mountain biking. which you shoudn't get if you're not mountain biking.
There's a paradox between "entry level price" and "durable and reliable". an entry level ~400-500 dollar bike wont be durable and reliable. just wont happen. just like a 100 dollar gun won't.
>>1077279
I like guns. I have wanted a nice wooden rifle for a long time. But I don't have a place to shoot it or the time.
Projecting strong views onto other people keeps most of us from having nice things though.
Guy who wears a black bandana on a fatbike is probably posting on his own echo chamber about my weird appearance. If this place wasn't so angry I'd post a photo so we could laugh at me too.
3 speed city bike

>There's a paradox
The word you're looking for is dichotomy. A paradox is something counter intuitive or self contradictory, but true.
>an entry level ~400-500 dollar bike wont be durable and reliable.
Yes it will. It will not, however, be light weight.
>>1077454
Tbh i want a 3 speed/whatever speed inner gear hub flat bar road bike. That's like having a p229
>>1077350
Time trials bike = sniper rifle
>>1077543
Just go with a sturmey archer aw or something that has a 177% gear range,none of that 186% wide range nexus bullshit.
Glad im building a 5 speed ffs
>>1077544
what kind of gun is a sniper rifle?
do you mean something like a remington 700 in a Accuracy International Chassis System
or like an Ar-15 DMR?
or is all your gun knowledge from video games
Glock = Trek
Boring, but very reliable
>>1077569
Nothing more reliable than creaking BB86 bracket bearings,missing frame gussets and hydrogen embrittled seatpost bolts.
>>1077577
don't for get the "lifetime warranty" they don't stand behind

90s rigid mtbs aren't really mtbs in the modern sense
they're best on slightly shitty roads or on light singletrack
pretty much perfect for city use

Giant defy because
1: Giant is the biggest mass market bike dealer sold brand in the world. Glock isn't the biggest gun brand in the world but it's most recognizable. every handgun is a glock to the media even if it's a dan wesson 1911 chambered in 10mm or a FN 5.7
2: Defy aluminum doesn't require as much maintenance as a carbon dura-ace bike like the glock 19
3: anyone can ride it since it ships with platform pedals rather than no pedals like most high end carbon full suspension hydralic disc brake equipped mtb bikes
4: can ride it everyday everywhere, glock 19 is carried eveywhere
5: Defy frameset has a high end and a low end. Same with glock. the 19 is chambered in 9mm para, little brother to the glock 17. the 17L: is a competition gun, with the glock 34 being a no frills no compromise solution to the 17 frame. Glock 18 for select fire special operations essentially a 17 with a different action.
>>1077938
I love hardtails, light and fast and brutal like a F1 racecar but not very comfortable compared to full suspension mtb's.
