not sure if you will see this now that the sale is over but…
I dont know Dicks Sporting Goods but I would just go to a shop that sold bicycles.
People are shocked when I tell them that I got a brand new Trek for around $500. I think it in their 820 models now on their site they say from $380. This will get you great service etc.
Thanks for the info. The weight is a big factor. My several-year-old Diamondback Wildwood Citi is a pain to carry. I’ll be looking to upgrade pretty soon.
