>>1594703>>1594710>>1594712>>1594713>>1594721I bought a $280 Scwinnn Prelude from amazon in like 2013 (pic related isn't mine, but the same model). It was super light and pretty fun to ride; granted, the wheels did need frequent truing (easy to do well enough yourself), the tourney palm shifters aren't fancy and slick like brifters, but they worked perfectly. Unfortunately Scwhinn doesn't seem to carry it anymore, but the low end isn't as completely useless as people insist.
