I don't have a number, but I don't want to pay for something that doesn't really matter. All the bikes in the store were alot lighter than mine. I thought this was nice. I definitely was not look for anything even close to $1000.
...The component types don't strike me as mattering all that much to me. Or even a cheaper bike.
Any recommendations? I really don't know how to tell.
...Or even something cheaper than that?
What a strange post.
You went to the bike shops and they answered your questions of the advantages and disadvantages of the range. You
ignored them because it means nothing to you.....So, you ask the same questions on the internet. Are you going to ignore the advice here too?
If the information and price they provided is irrelevant to you, why not just go with your gut feeling? You must have with your Bianchi.
