Thanks, hokiefyd. Maybe it's just demand for mountain bikes instead of a more road-oriented bike. I don't live in a mountainous area, but there are a few decent offroad trails here and there. I've been watching CL and FB marketplace for several weeks and seeing lots of entry to mid-level mountain bikes of the same age or older still bringing in $200+ and they were never as expensive as the FCR2 when new. Then when mentions of this model were fairly thin online, it made me more cautious.
I had been mostly looking at mountain bikes prior to this but realistically I'll be hitting mild paths with the wife more than I'll be barreling down a single track. We'll see what the future holds. I do have lots of storage space!
