I think I am supposed to be out of town, but I might see if I can drive the wife down there and get her a road bike. Thanks for the heads up.

We drive to KC every winter for a party. It's only about 5.5 hours from us, but I just won't be able to get there.

Well, if it makes you feel better, it looks like it's probably highly advertised. I'll bet all the good fixer-uppers will be gone in an hour.

I'm looking locally though, and was just kidding in my previous post.

If you are seriously interested in a bike, send an email. They have some very good prices on some bikes. If we didn't just by two new bikes, we would be headed there to buy a few bikes.
I sent an email and the guy responded in less than 10 minutes with what was available for the size of person my wife was.

I tried out a Bianchi for $60 but the fit wasn't quite right.
