The denali is the first bike I've purchased in about 6 years. Before then I bought a next for 63 bucks form shopco or some such. And before then I was a kid with a walmart ten speed. Have to say biking to work on this thing has been great. I only do 10 miles a day or so, 5 days a week but it's a blast. I can't afford a 700 dollar bike and I don't want to mess with used stuff so glad I didn't get hosed. The bike works, for better or worse I pedal and the bike goes forward. See you all on the roads.
