What do these bikes cost?

I want this bike. I have tried to google a price before I walk into an
LBS and fall dead on the floor. How much does a bike like this cost?
It looks so comfy and right for me. It is calling my name.

Didn't you just buy a bike last fall when you started posting here on
the newsgroup?

Just curious.

few charity rides....

I bought two bikes. The first bike I bought was a K-Mart Bike. It was
really cheap. I think I paid 60 dollars for it or something. Then I
decided that I should get a better one. The better one is not so
better. Now that spring is here and I am actually riding, I want to
invest in a comfort bike. The one from TREK looks nice. The Navigator.
This weekend I plan to go to the LBS. My kids have been taking my car
all the time and I keep getting dropped off at work. I decided to ride
to work from now on. I need a better bike. The first two purchases
were foolish. I had no idea what the hell I was doing. Since being on
this group since last fall, I have learned quite a bit to be honest.
Even though I sound like a the dittzy queen of suburbia, I do retain
the information you give me, and look at all the websites. The
navigator seems like a nice bike. I just thought it would be really
expensive because it is a TREK. So yes, I did buy two bikes. I am
still riding one at this point. The K-mart bike is sitting in the shed.
All Good Things,
Maggie

That does look cool, almost like my wife except she has a little lapdog
in the front basket. And my wife is Swedish and blond. And her bike
isn't pink. And she doesn't have a banana seat. No ape hanger bars
either. But other than that, they look just alike.

Get your trek, dumb the k-mart (or give it to charity) and use your other
one as a rain or extra bike. Ride and have fun.

A bike like this is perfect for many people.

Yes! I like the Trek Navigators as "all-arounder/general purpose"
bikes. It would be nice if they offered a choice of rigid fork
instead of those now ubiquitous RST suspension forks. I note
the unit in the link provided by Maggie in her first post comes
already equipped with rack and fenders. That's nice for people
who don't want to fuss around suspension forks and V-brakes to
install aftermarket fenders. It also appears to have sensible
wheels. With the rear rack, Maggie would have no excuse to hang
shopping bags on the handlebar :-)

I'd love to get one for my mom!
There are millions of them in Europe and Japan, used by everyday folks for
transportation. It's great to see an American bike company finally addresssing
something other than the sport market.

There are those Breezer city bikes, but they're pretty expensive.
The Navigators are nicely affordable. For people who want a
basic city runabout bike that can occasionally be put to work
on shopping trips etc, I think the Navigators go a long way
toward positive cycling experiences.

cheers,
Tom

I think the better one is pretty much like this one, without the rack.
It came from a LBS right? AFter you posted here for feedback on it?
Perhaps you could just buy the rack and put it on your current LBS bike.
Unless, of course, you just like buying bikes. In that case, buy away.

Having a front suspension is really not a big deal. If you live in an
urban area, it's useful when you encounter potholes and construction
repairs. I've mostly been riding a bone rattling road bike, but have a
front suspension on my mtn bike.

Heavy bikes cost less per pound than light bikes.
Light - Cheap - Strong . . . choose two.

Aw come on. is this board only for the "I know so much more than you

Can we at least agree that the more people on bikes, the better the
world is? And if Maggie wants to ride a pee-wee herman bike or a
Colnago, she's equally welcome as are her queries?

i don't have a degree and i sure don't race. i'm content to
poke along on my old mountain bike. i was commenting on
the appearance. not the rider. i don't know anything
about her. To me, a bike that upright is going to be
mighty tough to get up some hills. If her ride is mostly
flat, it'll probably be OK. don't blow this out of proportion.

Whatever. Your comment that you "wouldn't be caught dead" on the Navigator
was kind of obnoxious. I happen to think that functional bikes have their
own aesthetic appeal. I think Breezers and town bikes of their kind are
cool. Of course, I like the Bianchi Milano, and that would probably cause
you to blow a gasket.
