(Yes, still a lot... but not that much for a decent NEW bike. Used on Craigs List, easily in the $100 range). That Randonee is a beauty, and everyone has been raving about the REI commuter lines.Pinchiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13903230276310230126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8657623821846874929.post-52065690834980047452008-03-01T18:01:00.000-06:002008-03-01T18:01:00.000-06:00Great post, and great comments.You're right, my su...Great post, and great comments.<BR/><BR/>You're right, my suggestion that bike shops buy DynaCrap bikes and re-sell them was ridiculous.

Tonight I just picked up my new R.E.I. Novara Randonee. Reynolds 520 chromoly, Shimano Deore Octalink, Shimano LX, Mavic A319S, Stainless spokes.
