Wow, tough crowd in here. Of course, I do have a little pang of guilt for not checking for the numerically-appended version of the user name and instead going right to the verbose version under the assumption that surely, this must be unique...but what can I say.
As far as the Buzz, I do agree that the group mix is a bit weird on it. The hydros on a bike like that seems like a solution to a problem that didn't exist, considering the previous version had mechanical discs. And the parts are mostly cheap.
Think I'll wait for the REI coupon. At $650, the value is a bit questionable. If the coupon works for Novara bikes, I'll bite for the $520.
