Wow! I guess seeing all the ads from the discount online vendors makes me think this is a high price, but when you think of it--Under $2000 for a new bike from a brick and mortar dealer is a deal. I know that one of our members, 'Evelyn' bought one fully assembled from a dealer in Utah for slightly less than that. It was a 2015 model, and when she posted that, I thought that that was too high (again, because I am used to the online mail order dealer pricing). But it made sense in that she was a tourist from Israel, who wanted a bike to get her from Utah to New York where she was going to fly back home. I think she was trying to figure out if she could sell the Storm in Israel as a business, so she had some ulterior motives, but it worked out for her. She rode it from Utah to Brooklyn, New York, and I don't recall her having issues on the way.
