These are great bikes, but while you can find a 1 at Dick's Sporting goods, you just can't find the 2 or 3 at many places to test ride. Good luck with it. It's a great looking bike.
Did you get that at a LBS or via Online?
That is true. My friend recommended this bike to me. He is a cycle nut and has some very expensive bikes, even a Kestrel, but commutes on a 2010 Insight 3. I was actually surprised when I saw the 2012 specs and noticed that it lost the carbon fork and deore comps. Mine was bought through Amazon/Nashbar. Originally ordered it through nashbar.com but because I am Canadian using a US mailing address, they cancelled my order. However, I found it on Amazon for the same price (sold by Nashbar) and they shipped without an issue, go figure. I checked last week for a friend and they were only down to a handful of Insight 3 so i am sure they are sold by now. Definately don't regret this decision. BTW price was $449. Frame is by Kinesis and I am pretty confident the fork is too. If I hadn't found this deal I would have dropped $1350 on a Kona PHD. =D
