I'm usually on the Mtn. Bike forums, but I got bored and checked Wal-Mart's website for bikes and I found this: https://www.walmart.com/catalog/produ...uct_id=5751048
Since when did wal-mart start carrying $1,800 bikes???!!!!!!

I would still never give Wal-Mart $1800 when I could support a non-chain business and buy from a LBS.

How refreshing that they didn't give it a ridiculous name like CRAPPOCCINI
Or hijack the name of some previously revered but now extinct brand.

"Assembled by the hands of skilled Italian mechanics to be tuned up and ready to ride right out of the box"
I wonder if the saddle is made with "Rich Corinthian leather"

WAAAYYYYY OVERPRICED!!!!
I could easily find a quality carbon frame, with all those components for about $1400.
And that's building it at home, which is usually the staple of costing more.
