A 4500 WSD for $250 if in good shape is a good ride and if your lady likes it of what opinion is the 4k bike snob to you? That person may spend a heluva lotta time that could justify the cost of that bike but the one I got for my wife has only been out a few times, mine much more. Her ride is a wahoo (Trek owns GF) and was a good price new ($230) that is pleny fine for her she was thinking Target for her ride and I was gonna cry.
