Bike Nashbar always has some sweet deals running. That's where my last road bike came from, and where my next one will as well.

I raced mountain bikes in high school and only rode Specialized mountain bikes, but my road bikes were always Nashbar.

I rode mountain bikes pretty seriously in High School and for a little while after. I remember Specialized being a really good bike. Now they outsource to China and sell bikes at sporting goods stores for $200. They also like to try to sue the little guys out of business even though they usually lose. They sued a Canadian bike shop for trademark infringement a couple years back. Turns out the trademark they were claiming was actually owned by Fuji bikes. They ended up having to pay Fuji for suing them. This is pretty much their new business model. I used to be big into GT bikes, but they're owned by a toy company now and have really gone downhill too.

He's going to regret not getting better derailleurs and shift pods. Those STI components are crap and he'll rack his nuts on a hill if he hits a bump

I will be sure to tell him that! He wouldn't let us pay for it or put money in his bank acct. this is his first major purchase ever.
