That is what I was thinking pretty much verbatim, I just didn't want to post here and get a majority opinion of "you could have saved $170 and got just as good of a bike." I don't mind paying for quality since the kid can ride and seems to look forward to it, the hills just kill him and that NEXT Surge is 7 months old and looks like it's at least 2 years old. Thanks
