I'm in kind of the same situation as you are with regards to being out of the game for a decade. I have a Giant full suspension bike which I bought in '04. Before that I had a hard tail Trek. After buying the Giant and riding it, I decided I liked the hard tail better & kept riding it & put the Giant in storage. Two weeks ago, I got it out & took it in to be checked out & suspension adjusted for my weight. I'm going to give it a try since I have lots of trails & dirt roads around here. I looked on CL & my bike goes for around $400 to $500 now used - originally something like $12,00 to $1,600. There are lots of bikes on CL. Joe's advice about the bike shop is good. Maybe you can manage to try some out before buying.
