Thanks, yes, that is the option I meant when I said very expensive. It's north of $1500 here assembled, AFAIK. I need a decent quality, very durable bike outside the $100-$150 Walmart/Big W junk range, but well under the multi-thousand dollar range. It seems absurd that I could buy a really nice steel framed bike with Campagnolo equipment for a few hundred dollars in 1980, but can't get something reasonably priced now, even taking inflation into account.
