I recently spent a bunch of time trying to figure out which bike to buy and kept running into the same issue. There’s too many options, especially when you’re trying to stay within a specific budget. Most guides didn’t really help narrow things down in a practical way, so I put together a small tool to filter options based on budget and a few preferences. It’s pretty simple, but it helped me a lot, so I figured I’d share it here in case it’s useful to others: rippinmtb.com

Would love any feedback too. Still adding bikes and improving it.
