Point taken there, BengeBoy.
By the way, have you ever noticed (and this is just a general comment, not directed at the OP), when you are asked for advice and you give good, sound advice—the person who asked for the advice does exactly the opposite? Why is that?
Back on topic: Any bike with a few eyelets, that you're comfy on will do the job as it's been described. Discounts don't often figure into my thinking when I'm considering such a purchase. Again, just me.
