the bike cost 160. I will only ride on paved trails at the beach and maybe the streets. I was going to buy a $80 walmart/kmart/target bike.

I went to a bike shop last week and all their bikes were $200 and up. They had a Trek 820, which the bike guy recommended I get it. I told him lower the price to 180 and I might consider. He said no and I left.

yea...its hard to get a discount on those because they have no problems selling them at that price. :dunno:
if you are just using it for pavement...just get the costco one.
