You must consider the expense of converting a drop bar into an upright bar bicycle. The bike shown has upgraded handlebars, grips, shifters, brake levers, & other items. Plus a nice rack on the back & a kickstand. Just the cost of parts for this conversion could run around $150 (up to $200 if new tires are installed). If it fits & you like the ride - I'd say it's a reasonably fair deal at $200. About the only thing that would come close would be something new from Bikes Direct for around $400.
