David, those bikes are amazing!! Thx for the pics.

I have toyed with getting a nice older road bike, but for a while my wheels have been a turn-of-the-century Cannondale F700.

Our terrain here varies, but I am certainly not looking for $4k top of the line and not looking for Walmart special either. We can stumble through the dark together.

Doing some search queries through mtbr.com, I found what seems to be a good value for around the $400 price range. Check out: Airborne Skyhawk

Looked up its specs, and it has decent mid range parts from what I read, and at $400 exactly brand new.

Edited: OKay, upon digging deeper on mtbr, there are tons of great dealson mtb's iin that range, just gotta look around.
Trek, Cannondale, GT karakoram 2.0 all look good to me

I think http://www.mtbr.com would be your best bet for your search to find a bike with a budget in mind.

Lots of riding in our neck of the woods, I have been avid for more years than I would like to discuss. Still loving it.
