Amazon or Niagara Cycles, run you $40-$50. Your local shop would be a keeper.

That kind of answer would be an example of fail.
OP can try my questions, or listen to those who disagree (apparently everyone).
I've got half a dozen bikes cluttering up the house btw, not just the Denali. It's only for nasty weather or when I want a nice easy ride.
