Best road/touring bike under $900
I'd agree with a previous poster who recommended the following:
Fuji Touring, MSRP is $840 Bianchi Volpe MSRP is $850 These would appear to fit your requirements pretty well. Look for a Cro-Moly framed bicycle, not an aluminum framed bicycle. The Trek 520 would also be good but it may be more than $900 street price with an $1100 MSRP. All depends what's on sale and how much the dealer you go to discounts off the MSRP. I'd think that if there are a lot of 2003's left over that they'd be priced not higher than $900 when the 2004's come out. Maybe Mike J. can comment about model year end pricing. You may want to consider something used as well. Something like a well maintained Specialized Sirrus Triple with a lugged chromoloy frame could probably be purchased for under $400. I have one next to me in my office right now, but it's not for sale. My next bike will likely be something like the Rivendell Romulus, but I'll get in trouble if I spend that much!

Can anybody point me to some models that won't break my bank account ?? Keep riding, El Squid |

The TREK 520 tends to hold its value (and not get closed out really cheap) because it rarely goes through major changes. Some years it carries over with no changes at all, others they might change from one dark shade of green to a very slightly lighter or darker shade. It's anything but a slave to fashion... as I've said before, it's downright boring! But that's exactly why it's successful. --Mike-- Chain Reaction Bicycles www.ChainReaction.com |
