So I stopped riding when I went to college in 2007. I had saved and saved for a bike before I was 16 and put it to good use, but it has been hanging in my parents garage in NH for years. I'd like to get back out there and take advantage of the area I live in now (arizona), but went to look at bikes and they are 4x what they were 10 years ago.
SO
Should I have my old 2003 Jamis Dakar Sport (Jamis Dakar Sport 2003 Full Suspension Reviews - Mtbr.com) shipped to me (all stock but pedals and wheels)? Or should I invest in a new bike?
If option #1, what should I update, change, fix?
If option #2, what should I be looking at? Price is flexible, but I had $1000 in mind before seeing the market. Travels are desert and northers AZ desert forests. All mountain I guess? Moab. I like to do dumb stuff, but not as dumb as a lot of guys here I'm sure. But most will be hard packed trails.
I'm 5'11", 165lbs, average/lean build, enjoy walks on the beach, longer torso, shorter legs. I don't know what else I should include these days, as it is nothing like I remember haha.
Thanks for the help, sorry for the volume.
