Actually, shipping is included. I was thinking it was $299, but that's actually the Windsor Hour, not the Messenger.
I don't really believe that a decent commuter bike can be found $100 anymore, unless one gets lucky and stumbles onto something. Prices on Craigslist and eBay for anything other than Nexts and old hi-ten Schwins have climbed far beyond the $100 mark, at least based on what I've seen locally (and I don't like in a particularly bike-friendly part of the country). That's not to say that one can't find a decent commuter bike for less than $300, though.
