Oh no spending money on a quality product. It always seems to be a point of contention around here and among some other cyclists. I am not saying this product is a great deal or isn't expensive and sure ideally it would come with a dynamo set up but it is a relatively new DT system on a really top notch touring frame from a reputable company who makes their bikes by hand.
This bike might not be for everyone but I am sure it rides like a dream and is a great bike for someone who tours and travels that much. I love my Co-Mo and probably wouldn't go with another touring bike unless it were totally custom built for me to my specific geometry and even then I would probably still get it from Co-Motion. A friend and I are interested in getting a tandem and I am hoping to convince my friend to share in some cost and build up a Co-Motion.
