Once you have determined what style and size bike is right for you, shopping the used market can provide a vast array of choices. I found a used Volae Tour for only $700, and a used Tour Easy for $1400. Both bikes are in excellent condition and came with accessories. So for only $2100 I own both a good quality SWB and a good quality LWB machine.

Good hunting!
