Cuda,

There's not much upgraded on that Alyeska IMHO. Saddle, bar-ends I'll give you. Stem and bars, maybe. RD is a crossgrade.

I've been following Alyeska pricing pretty closely for the last 8 months or so and while there have been a number of examples selling for below $350 (the current typical minimum) in that time, most have sold for around $425. A clean one went for close to $600 (with full racks on it) last month. Prices on the Schwinn Voyageur SP (and the chrome 11.8) have risen substantially as well.
