Unfortunately, the secret is getting out and availability of the these bikes is going down and prices are going up.
Awww... you linked to MY bike!
Actually, in the Trek line of adult MTB/Commuter/Hybrids it's the cheapest bike, brand new, and I wouldn't be surprised if it's the cheapest (or early so) of the full sized, multi gear, bikes from any respectable manufacturer.
Used might be another story, but I got mine for sixty bucks over 12 years ago, when she was a lot newer and shinier.
