Steep but worth it. The earlier models had tyre clearance issues in the rear. Also the steel frame was not as stiff as the later models. As luck would have it they've stopped making this model. Happens a lot in the cycling business - good products are EOL'd too often. The model has been superceded by the Feather model which uses a threaded fork instead (why??). Anyway considering how much of gem the bike is, that was the price to part with mine.
That's a very nice bike! Will have to pass as the price is too steep for me currently. Found one on Ebay for 120, albeit not the same model/year..
Will check HHV as well, thanks @jono84!
