A bike is a bike, why don't some of you stop being elitist and just welcome the guy?

What I find amusing is that if this post would have been about a low-end LBS bike, everyone would have been like "yeah, awesome! Welcome to the commuting life!"
Because this is the wrong forum to put up a "For Sale" sign...

and as a mechanic I feel that the Dawes framesets are crap. And I sincerely doubt that Specialized, Trek and Cannondale (which are made entirely in the US) make their bikes at the same factory.

Flagged as Spam.

Move on
