I'd consider getting the ready to ride Marin Presidio 4 DLX Complete & spend the saved time building up the stuff by enjoying the extended ride times.
EEK! Okay, looking at the prices on those I need to spell something out- I'm apparently looking for straight up
dirt cheap start points. The Journeyman's price looks like a place I don't mind ending up
as total after I've tinkered around, modified, and added parts for a year but the next thing I'm liable to cough up a grand on in one shot would be a new bass guitar or firearm.
