You were kidding right... if she listened to the kid in the shop she would have purchased a pricey bike that was ill-fitting, didn't suit her riding style that had Wal-Mart components.

I knew going in $1000 doesn't buy much. I paid alittle $7500 for mine (which was fully custom, had custom wheels and top end components). But I was surprised at how little for the money you could get the Specialized shop. My friend would be better off at Performance or REI - they offer better bikes for the money.
