Yeah, was considering having my wife's old Trek overhauled to give to my youngest daughter. At least 4 weeks wait, and longer depending on part availability. Ok, how's about a new bike, nope nothing in stock in "normal" sizes.
We bought her a used Specialized Rockhopper, all Shimano Deore components for $350. Don't know how good the price is because once she saw it I wasn't leaving without it. She's 13 and had never been on a bike before (no place here without cars and distracted drivers) it took her an hour to learn.
I drooled over the bikes from the owners collection hanging from the ceiling. DeRosa, Pinarello, Cinelli...beautiful, but not for sale. I keep telling myself when I get new knees I want a Masi Grand Criterium!
