Here, and elsewhere, people have been mostly telling me to avoid the online dealerships because I'll spend my savings on paying a local shop to assist with assembly, and there'll be lost savings in...

That's correct, and they're both quite a hike, as you can see. Toronto is much more accessible (in fact, I'd probably want to go through Toronto to reach those American cities), but even that's 2.5/3...

About 50 mins to the border, but add another 50 mins to any sort of civilization that doesn't involve cow-tipping.

I checked for Giant dealerships, since I already know that I'm happy with the...

If you've read up my other posts, you'll know a bit of the woes of buying local in Southeastern Ontario. There's only two shops in my city (of 160,000 people) that are of worth any note, and one...

I'd REALLY like to try a Coda Sport, but that seems like it isn't going to happen. The ONLY Jamis dealers in Ontario, apparently, are SportCheks, a rather bland and generic sports store that we have...

When you've got a sec, could you link a product or two at one or two online bike part stores so I can get an idea what you're referring to?

Thanks for the endorsement!



Cheers, mate.

2kg for a fork does sound like a lot. Good to hear that you were pleased with the outcome of discarding it. I believe that the Escape 3 has an...

Not according to Giant's website, they don't. The Giant 3 has a Suntour NEX MLO, and the 1 has a NCX-D RL. Also, i don't know where you're from, but the Roam 1 is a $650 price difference from the...

Escape City is out of my price range, unfortunately.

ninja edit: If I'm going to breach my budget (which is an option), I need a very solid, well-grounded reason to do so. "It rides better" isn't...
