I went to a LBS and was told they couldn't do anything for me in my price range, Knowing very little I asked if I could get a decent bike at K-mart. The Lady (she was very nice and really wanted to help me but their lowest started 250 more a bike then I wanted or even could spend) pointed me to scheels. The guy I talked to there was very knowlegable or at least could act like he was and offered what I think is a good deal on a couple of low end Treks. Still a little more then I should spend for bikes but at least doable. I will probaly go for it.
