Midgetmaestro, thanks for the response. Not trying to argue, more get to the truth behind a bike that I know nothing about. It was just a DRASTIC difference between what I was seeing on this forum and what the previous owner told me... Just trying to weed through a brand new world. Sorry if that came off wrong.

LowCel, thanks for the response. That link was helpful to see. Another development is that this bike has been discontinued. Does this play in to price tags?

The $400-450 price tag is interesting to me.

Thanks all. This is really helping.
