Agreed on the $250 is a steal. The "free" Trek that I put tubes, tires, fenders, and a bell on cost me close to $100. And that was with the tires on close-out for about $20 each. You can imagine why I ended up hesitating over the mustache bars. Also, a Wald basket up front would be very a nice and very useful touch.
The thing is, most people don't want to spend money on a decent kid's bike. It's understandable as most kids don't ride them very much. But in the TCO (total cost of ownership), a good bike that can last through 2-3 of one's own children before being sold used for 50-70% of original purchase price is pretty cheap on an amortized basis. Not many people look at their budget that way, though. -Allan -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
