Buyer's remorse can be a by-product of C-List, it's true. I've simply given up on second guessing myself, since I've bought and sold so many bikes there. Here's a couple of bikes from C-Cist that I bought that are very similar interms of quality steel frames, verus low-end Hi-tensile steel.

Both the Raliegh Elkhorn and the Trek 930 were very good bike. But, the Taiwan Raliegh fetches little today, while the 930 is somewhat sought after because it was one of the last US handmade lugged MTB's from Trek.

The Raliegh cost me $40. The Trek, $140 (asking price, $175 all banged up). I'm currently riding the Raleigh almost everyday. The Trek I sold for $250 after i did some swapping out for better shifter, an older, better crankset (BioPace) and good tires. The Brooks saddle I kept, which is now on the Raliegh.

Both bikes are made of high quality steel, and are, in my opinion, equal as to relative value. It's a C-List thing...
