I want to buy a bike.

1700 bucks is still entry level. You can spend over $10,000 easily if you are so inclined.

Sheite, some WHEELS are $2500+


$400 will buy you a nice bike. Giant is a good brand.

if you're paying that much for wheels, then they better be custom made, in which case (depending on the craftsmanship and purpose) that isn't a terrible price.

I'm looking into having my commuter bike wheels custom made because I keep breaking spokes on our poorly-kept roads.

I just bought a schwinn sierra 21 comfort bike with mountain bike features . I am 42, 5'8 and 183 lbs. I haven't been on a bike in years. This bike is so easy to ride, it has wider mountain bike syle tires and shocks in the forks and seat. I couldn't turn the bike with the narrower tires. My son's advice was to go ride them and he said if the bike store won't let you ride it in the parking lot, go somewhere else. I'm glad I took his advice because the Schwinn hybrid with narrow tires just wouldn't turn easily for me even though I loved the look of it. I paid about $350. It rides nice on pavement and the dirt trails at the state park. Those gears come in handy for inclines and hills. It has upright seating so you aren't bent over like the old 10 speeds.it is lightweight and I can easily put it on the bike rack. Oh and it is stepthrough design. I still want a girly basket at least though. lol My boys are 22 and 18 and they were yelling at me for riding in cute shoes. Oh, I remember yelling at them for riding in flip flops just a few years ago.lol what a reversal. haha
