Of course you get retail type prices in the shops. If cost is an issue then keep hunting. You'll see lower prices at flea markets, thrift stores and garage sales.

I saw a Styer yesterday in the Bay Area at a little thrift shack. Looked ok. $89.00 was the price. Too much for my wallet.
I would agree with the flea markets, garage sales, and thrift shops but stay away from Karim's. This shop has been under investigation and allegations of selling stolen bikes. Buyer beware on that one.
