Good bike? Decent bike? Poor bike? I'm pretty much a bike noob. I do know a little about derailers though. The fact that they are Deore was one of the deciding factors of buying this bike.

Nice. Very decently appointed bike.

To complete the picture, what did you end up spending on it?

Tell us "how you did"...how much do you ride it and how you like it. If your ridin it and lovin it then you did great. If it is sittin or you dont like the ride you may not have done so well.
