I am not offended, but I guess I should clarify the $25 for my police bike was a killer deal it was in no way meant to be a barometer for what someone else should pay. I just mentioning it because I have spent some time researching Trek Police bikes before since I have one and it was/is a good bike despite seeing better days. It needs some love now and I have retired it from commuting duty because I have bikes that fit better now. I am going to have it as a do it all loaner bike once I get it ready to ride again because part of me doesn't want to let it go.
