DUnno why NYCE says that, as they sell all kinds of other stuff ... Maybe the 26 Terns are not THAT much superior tahn some other offerings. Dont forget also that shipping them is a huge pain in the butt, meaning expensive... Maybe their comments are pretty self serving as they dont want to offer free shipping as most other Internet dealers offer, and come up with such a lame excuse. Nit typically NYCE ...lol
Having said that, the C is somewhat on the lower side of components, especially if you compare it with a D ... which is a great bike and far nicer than the others u are listing ... Well worth the little upcharge from C to D ...
You gonna like the Tern ..dont let anybody talk you out of it
