Yup, Nabraska is closer to 7. Dakota is just under 6k, if you can find stock.

[philip.maree]

dunno, most options in that bracket seems to be brickish

 

I can get a Specialized Rockhopper M4 for R6200. Think it's a good buy?

benoni. procycles. need an addy or is it too far out for you? 

 

the reason i asked is because you mentioned those two bikes and i have a regular customer called phillip who bought a nabraska a little while back and is looking at an alias for his son.
