Man if I would have know that they where going to put together a Denali the way I wanted it. I would have waited.
But $580.00 sounds high to me. The base Denali wal-mart has is $150 pluse tax. If you add $100.00 for the Sora shifters, maybe $100 for the drivetrain and $100.00 for the forks it still would only be $450.00 or so.
The only things that I want to change is the gearing, shifters and maybe the froks. The 48/38/28 would be ok if I had hills, but I live in the Florida. The tallest hill I have is the bridge that crosses the bay. The shifters are MTB, they work fine but this is a road bike and I don't like them that much. Thinking about changing the froks just to lighten up the front end and make the ride a little smother. The rear Derailer is ok but want a short cage with a double crankset. And that means I have to change the front derailer to double as well. Thinking of going with a 52/42
