This is my first bike since I was a kid so I don't know what after market add-ons they made. It's weird b/c this bike shop has a good reputation for being fair. I wonder what they were thinking behind that pricing.
Yah, a good reliable local shop is really helpful. Talk to this one, find out why they think this bike is worth that price. If you think their answer makes sense, go for it. If not, keep shopping around!
