Both my bikes were bought on ebay . They are used steel bikes from the 80's. One is a Fuji Roubaix and the other is a Centurion Ironman. I've got slightly less than 300 bux total invested for both bikes including shipping and both are in pretty good shape. I guess if u really wanna be up to date on the latest tech the LBS would be the way to go. But if u dont mind ridin some vintage steel, u might find a bargain on EBAY.
