yes the sales still on but we sold out on sunday. i work at the leslie sheppard store btw. the raleigh serengeti is being sold for $240 down from $480. its a nice bike, but $40 over ur limit

i also just recently bought the raleigh ambush for $150.. it's a huge step down from the trek 4300 i was gonna buy. but hey, it's gonna get me in and out of campus and i wouldn't feel as bad if it gets vandalized or stolen.

i'm going out on a trail either tonight or tomorrow to see how bad it is

This is really dependent upon one's own definition of 'decent'. But to many bike enthusiasts, you cannot buy a decent bike under $450 for most intensive purposes.

To get you to school and back, sure, a crappy tire bike will do. If you intend to take it on any type of trail at all, you will likely be hitting yourself in the head with the problems you will likely find in the parts of the bike itself, or how shoddy the workers at crappy tire put the bike together. Next thing you know you spend another $250 on a crappy bike where you could have had one that will last you forever if you maintain it.

A bike at around the $450-500 like a Trek 4300 or Specialized Hardrock will get you some decent components, a bike shop that will fit you properly, and will likely honour free tune-ups for at least 2 years if not more.

Keep in mind if you can wait until next March there is a Toronto Bike show where all the local stores usually cut the prices on last years stock before bringing the new lines in - might be worth the effort if you plan on holding onto the bike for any length of period.

theres actually a bike show in toronto in october thats organized by the same people. its less of a show and more of a big sale. all the shops in toronto worth their salt go there to sell overstock and odds and ends for great prices. you can get your hardrock or 4300 there for $400 or possibly less if youre a good bargainer.

i suggest you put an extra $150 on top of your existing $200, make your way to downtown toronto in october, and get yourself a great deal on a norco, trek, specialized, etc. if youre not near toronto, then hit your local bike store sometime soon - this is when 2007 overstock will start selling at reduced prices.

Hi there,

Ju-On...

What does detachable mean? Do you mean to be able to replace parts or take it apart altogether, I think any bike can do this.

Yea, that's a good call..I was wondering what the proper saying was, lol

can you please give me more insight on this? Im looking to get a new road bike and maybe this would be the best time. Are the prices good there?

Thanks

[nwmrkt]

is this it? What brands are sold there all reputable ones? Specialized, Giant etc?

[wushudrew]

prices at the october bike show in toronto are seriously rock bottom, and you would be very hard-pressed to find a lower price in any shop in the GTA. reason being that most of the shops are at the show to begin with.

good brands include specialized, giant, kona, trek, gary fisher, scott, and jamis.

you could probably get a cheap road bike for around $500 if you look hard at the show, but i wouldnt really get one for under $750. there are always exceptions, though. at the bare minimum, i would want a 105 drivetrain. personal preference wins out in the end, though.

boutique road bike brands like colnago and cervelo are quite pricey, but they ride well.

try for something like the specialized allez or the trek portland.
