$625 for a re***bent for a first time buyer is still way too much. You
need
to get the price down to about $200. At that price point it is possible
that
we could began to see if re***bents were for the m***** or not. Such a
re***bent would not need to be super light or have very good components,
but
it would have to be a good design, be comfy and look nice. All re***bents
to
date have been way too expensive for the general public. Remember, bikes
are
toys to most folks.
