oh and you should have no problem learning to wrench your own bike, get a bicycle repair book (or watch videos on line) and a toolkit. you'll find that working on a bicycle is a little different than a motorcycle but nothing you can't handle at all.

Theres a shop near my house but they only sell diamondback and raleigh. Everything else is about a mile away, which isn't that much of a hassle but it means I cant really hit up more than 2 or 3 bike shops in a single day. This bike was reccomended to me on another forum though.

Oh yeah, also I'm opposed to grip shifters. I don't like them as much as the other type that you have to 'click' rather than twist. I just dont think it's very comfortable.

Lets change the name to BikesDirectForums and be done with it please.

Good luck with your sales.

Quite the accusation.

I assure you everything I wrote was genuine.
