So what mtb frame/built up bike can you guys recommend for a newbie? Budget is around 10k to 19k. Basta not more than 20K. Decent Shimano parts e.g. Deore or XT? Thanks for the advise. For 20K you can already get a deore groupset with mechanical brakes, a rockshox dart or suntour xcr fork, mavic 223 rims, a vision, chucker, K2 or gts hardtail frame and other not so expensive compenents but trail worthy enough. Lower than 20K, I think you'll be ending up with an alivio, acera or altus 8speed shimano groupsets which can also be used in trails but you will be limited to eight speed and the set up would be a little heavier. My first bike was around 20K.

A newbie from our subdivision recently got a Merida HT whole bike from extreme that cost him around 15k. It has mech disc brakes and Alivio level drivetrain. It is not flashy but it is trail worthy. He had a budget of 20k, the remaining 5k, he purchased a 3k helmet, the rest he bought trail shorts and riding gloves.
