OP here, I think I get it, I should avoid suspensions to the best of my ability and in general the less moving parts the less things which could break down.
So now I'm easing off the MTB for the city angle and looking into a single speed bike, do those make more sense? I'm really new to bikes so I have no idea if I would miss having gears for long commutes but I suspect I should be fine.
Pic related is an example for a filthy cheap single speed I found at a local bike chain store, it's 270$ and googling it's name gives me nothing, probably because it's under the store's "home brand" (which I suspect means it's some exceptionally chinese crap), also the frame size is 50cm according to their website, isn't that tiny?
Anyway, what do I risk in buying a single speed bike cheaply?
I appreciate the fact you guys are helping me out, even if I do piss you off, so thanks.
