| 2269.1 | Here's a to name a couple... | SALEM::SHAW | Freedom is skiing solo...! | Tue May 05 1992 13:47 | 14 |

At the a little more than $400, (500.00) range I can name two.
However, both bikes that I know are in Southern NH bike shops
I am sure you could find dealers closer to you, if not send me
mail if interested.
1- Bridgestone RB-2. A great bike at around $550. Janpanese Ishiwata
frame (unheard of at these prices). Shimano EX-400 drivetrain.
Araya rims.
2- Univega gran primo (gran something , I forgot). Pretty light
weight. Shimano EX-500 drivetrain, Araya rims.

| 2269.2 | the aesthetic alternative | SHALOT::ELLIS | John Lee Ellis - assembly required | Tue May 05 1992 13:55 | 18 |

Those suggestions are good, I'm sure, especially the RB-2.
An alternative is to start with as much top quality as you
can afford up front, and enhance over time. To wit:
Pkg. A - or - Pkg. B
----------------------------------------------------------
- an EMS fork, - Ergo Power shifters.
- Titanium stem and seatpost pin,
- Mavic ceramic rims,
Either one should be a good start. Over time, you can accumulate
more bike parts and eventually produce a rideable machine! The
plus thing is that, meanwhile, you have a handsome collection of
conversation pieces for your mantle!

| 2269.3 | If it;s TREK your looking for .....? | NAPIER::BARRETT | Sponsor me for PAN MASS Ride. DTN 297-9232 | Tue May 05 1992 13:57 | 5 |
| The "TREK STOP" in Grafton Mass carries only Trek bikes, and there are several
Bikes in that price range (and above) in the ROAD, MB, HY-B types. I have found
the owner to be very help full even though I got my Trek at another shop.

| 2269.4 | Another question | MILKWY::CE_TOOLS | | Tue May 05 1992 16:20 | 5 |
| Within a $400 price what should I be looking for? Since I am novice, I
would want to make sure I really get my $400 worth. What are the top
5 typical question/features that I should ask or look for?

| At Free Motion you can get a Wheeler 4200 with Shimano RX-100
components for $400. However it is more of racer than a touring bike.
Depending on what size bike you need, Free Motion had some leftover
Miyatas with Shimano 105 on Aluminum frames for $325.00, and a 60 cm
Aluminum frame with cheaper Shimano Index components for $200.00, all
brand new. There was a new 600GT touring bike 57cm with bar-end
shifters for $375.00.
