I bought a tire for my car at walmart a few weeks ago...saw the same thing for $64.99.  I'd suggest shopping around next time :)

(nice bike)  Where's all the money in one of those things go anyway?   R&D?  Materials its made of?  To the untrained and uneducated eye it looks just like a bike with wheels, frame and chain.

Man I have no idea where the money goes LOL.
I only know that my new bike is a specialized S-Works wich is there pro level stuff.
Hand made frame loads of carbon fiber shimano dura ace groupo mavic wheels ect ect ect.

Main thing i noticed was its weight or lack thereof.
62cm frame wich is a large and total weight 16.5lbs.

They do have a lighter bike at 13lbs but it was 9.5k:O

The wheels alone are 800.00 and weight hardly anything and the bearings are ceramic and smooth as glass.

Its almost like cheating riding this thing.
I went riding for the first time since 1986 (on a road bike that is)
and pumped out 30 miles before I pooped out.

Cant waite till I loose some more weight 240lbs down from 266lbs.

As far as I can tell in bicycles its the less is more LOL.

Let me get this straight.... you paid more money for a lighter bike when you could just lose that amount of weight yourself in a month of riding a heavier bike... errr  uhh  hmmm........  right?

You assume those cigarette butts are mine?

I smoke cigars on occasion but no stinking ciggs.

Yes America is a wonderfull place where i can spend this kind of money on a bike and not blinking an eye over doing it.

You see a life of hard work and smart investing lets you do stuff like this later in life.

I tried RC planes once.
Spent 600 bucks on everything and she flew for about 40 seconds.
I had to use a shovel to dig the engine outta the ground LOL:confused:
