my bike cost $50. I got it caws the shop knew I 'd take care of it. You prob don't know how to so it's better ruining a Radonee before tackling a finely tuned sports machione like a LeMond. The Rad will give better service while learning. Oh no doubt. I never thought about that aspect but you are right. |

REI Safari or Surly Long haul Trucker?
i wuz speaking with a shop mechanic about chain lube when he offered
an opinion on it. He said 7/8 of 10 bikes sold new were component trashed during the first year by owners neglect, supidity, general lack of knowledge, ignorance. I don't know but assume the wear factor goes up as price when weight goes down. not that components aren't replaceable but what effectively happens is efficiency decreases gear by gear, lateral force potential, ... countering efficiency loss toward improving or maintaining efficiency is the idea. |

I presume you took advantage of 20% off - so now you can ride it for a few week and test ride LHT too. Yep that's what I did... got 20 percent of deal |
