yeah, that's another issue with the expensive bikes. My current bike weighs way more than 30lb, though. It's also knackered. It needs so much work were I to keep it that it would cost at least the price of an equivaklent bike to fix it. I suspect it may have been damaged when it was shipped here, because I didn't have problems with the front wheel shifting out of alignment like I do know. I'm thinking maybe the packers just forced it flat and bust it rather than using the appropriate tools
I'm biking more and more, so I really want something that I'm not going to curse at and wish I had a different one, as I do currently.
thanks for all the comments and info, guys. all very helpful.
