OK, this years C&V Velo contest could be to spend $610, not $149.99...

Instead of Velo Cheapo, it could be Velo, Uh-Oh....

Specialized did a good thing. The price makes an entry level buyer really think about new vs. used, when before at that price, it was used or nothing. Well, other than the Denali.

And I'll bet the words "used bike" will come up a little more often, if a buyer thinks $610 is too high.
