Hehe, I definantly have to pick it up outside norway and "smuggle" it in. Seriously, in norway professionals tell you to stick away from anything priced below NOK 2500 (USD 550?) or sold in a department store. For NOK 2500 you get the same bike you can get in the US for 250 USD.. Prices here are so insane you wouldnt imagine (unless you've been here).
But then again, so are the wages. =p Student on a summer job making 6500 USD a month, sitting at a chair in a factory..
Gonna try to get ahold of the guide.
Btw, the one thing im the most worried about is the weather and temprature, will starting off in late august be a problem?
