I gave $280 for that dawes sst Al. Shipped. It was a return so I got it from Bike Island.
Cheapest bicycle I've ever bought new and probably the most fun. I think I want to sell my 29er and replace it with a 650b SS.
I could be happy with just 4 bikes, my alloy 105 synapse, a gravel grinder Ti. Volagi, the al. Dawes and a 650b ridgid SS.
While I might not be a fixed fanatic I love simple.
