I paid only $529 last October, then added some trekking bars ($25) and fenders ($25) and rack ($30.) The next thing I'll do is get a Brooks leather saddle for comfort.
I love it so far, but your results may vary.
hmmm... it's $699 canadian MSRP which is definitely in the upper echelon in terms of how much i'd want to spend on a bike, but it is only $30 more than the SU 2.0. perhaps i should try looking for last years model.
what is the big difference between the 2 bikes?
