not to be a wise guy but I wouldn't expect to have to repair stuff on a car until it hit at least 70,000 miles so i don't know if that's really saying much. I don't know though but after following the Denali review, even though it hasn't broken in two or anything yet...I'd be more inclined to take a pass on it. Then again i probably thought that before i read this thread. I just a few weeks ago bought a marin larkspur from rei outlet on 30% closeout for 272...pretty fast, (granted flatbars but this is the commute forum!) and everythings stayed in tune which is good because I'm better off not monkeying with stuff...even get to bring it back to the rei where they shipped it to for 200 mile tweak. I think they still have some...sorry, not to hijack the thread like the my 1000 bianchi is better post -but for not that much more money maybe a wiser choice?
