Hi Laser

If you do not mind doing some reassembly and tuning, go to Fitobikes and see what they have to offer. I purchased a Fito Medena with the alluminum frame for barely over $200 on a Prime special. What I found, however, is that the bike pretty much needed to be reassembled from the ground up. I had to true both wheels, repack all the bearings, readjust both brakes, and completely disassemble and regrease the bottom bracket, which in this price range, is a one-piece steel crank with loose ball bearings. To make the bike shift better, I removed the inexpensive crappy Shimano Tourney deraiuller and replaced it with a much better Acera, which only added about $25 more cost. Overall it's a decent bike for the money, and is pretty light. If you do purchase a Fito, I highly recommend replacing the one-piece crank with a three piece. That is what I will be doing on mine.
