Haha. By all means, PLEASE, no one poach my golden egg here. I've just been wading through so many outrageous prices on fair-to-middle bikes (at best) that I wanted to check that this was as good as...

Dare I say that my patient waiting and hours of sifting might possibly pay off? I found a 1986 Centurion Le Mans RS in decent-looking shape for what I take to be finally a reasonable price, and I'm...

Would you believe I just had their site up now. The Univega might be a bit long for me, and while the Faggin is close enough to my price range, I wouldn't be able to get a rear rack on there before...

80s touring bike, check. Thanks!

Is it common for a road bike to have eyelets on the rear dropouts but not on the stays? If so, this might open up some possibilities for me, with the help of some...

Sounds good to me. I'm finding some decent roadies on CL (at So Cal prices), but lack of mounting points have been deal breakers. I know enough to watch for rust, untrue wheels, bends in the frame,...

Taking a look at performance, but they don't seem to have anything up my alley. The Scattante Americano III isn't far off for the sale tag right now, but the lack of drop-downs alone is a minus....

Virtually no hills in Pasadena, almost never rains and certainly no snow. I'll be parking on campus and around the city but with a U-lock this time, no more chains. All the same, as much as I'm a...

Soliciting advice

I know variations of this question have come up over and over again on these forums, and I've spent the last two days breezing through the archives before starting a new thread, but I'm sure some...

That's what I like to hear: never give up on the possibilities of a good bike. Don't get me wrong - I would LOVE to get my hands on a nice light used road bike, but it's just not in the cards right...

I'm none too thrilled with the selection in Cleveland. Does this look like rust to you guys? http://cleveland.craigslist.org/bik/782692694.html

It will never be more than a Detour -- so be it. But I refuse to sit back and rest heavy on the saddle!

Thanks for the advice. Of course if anyone has more to add, by all means I'm the student....

Unfortunately the monogamy in this relationship is out of financial necessity. I could barely afford the bike I got as a poor college student.
I'm keeping the comfort saddle, and the seat post is a...

Seeking wisdom

Enough scouring the internet, it's time to just ask you guys. I recently purchased a Raleigh Detour 4.0, a smooth enjoyable ride. When visiting a friend in Denver last month, however, I borrowed...

Just bought the Detour 4.0 today, my first real bike. I haven't put more than a couple miles on it so far, but I don't know if I could be more satisfied. I feel like I'm riding on a stiff cloud. ...

All appreciated, though varied, advice. I'll have to keep thinking about it I guess and running the numbers, but this has helped; thank you. (My bad on the .0's vs the .5's; I wasn't thinking when...

Sorry, but if i could heap a couple more questions on here. What are thoughts on the preload adjust, available on the .5's but not the .0s?

In the end, should I just wait until I graduate and...

Now is that cheap design on the part of Raleigh for the Detours, or is that just a matter of what you get for your dollar? In other words, should I be expecting forged for 300 dollars, IYO?

My last bike was grip shift, and I had no issue with it; I actually got quite used to it. But I'd never done serious commuting on it (just racing back and forth from class on campus). If that's the...

First (although really it's second) I'll say I'm new to...
