Of course I spent nearly as much building it up as I could have gotten the nice Randonnee I nearly bought on sale at REI. <facepalm>
Got a nice hard surface to really bounce your head on? Went to a Scratch and Dent sale yesterday and watched guy roll a lightly used Randonnee out the door for $300 (wasn't my size). I didn't get a chance to read the tag but there was no obvious issues. Watched a Disc brake C-Dale MTB go out the door for $350 (was my size but I was beat to it). Another sale at another store today. If I had the cash I should be down there scoring one of those bikes and reselling it on CL.
