I have one from REI mine is a limited edition... On one side it says Novara and on the other it says Novaro. I bought mine in '97 its blue and the model is called a Ponderosa, I think I paid about $700. I still ride it but more as a beach cruiser than off road as it is a hard tail and I tend to bounce off into the snakes and bushes. dont toss it- its a great bike for a student on limited funds.
