The New Wheels...
There are three bike stores in Hilo, "Hilo Bike Hub", "Pacific Cycles", and "daKine bike shop", daKine is a used (read stolen) bike store.
After wandering around all bloody day I finally settled on the 2004 Giant Rincon from Pacific. It is the largest and least expensive bike I have owned in many, many years. More price oriented because I already have a nice bike and big because I am planning on using it mainly for commuting; I didn't really want to start fooling around with 400mm seatposts and long stems and all that stuff to squeeze me into a 19" like my Brodie.
Everybody was really pleasant to deal with, I did like the boys at the hub better but they didn't have anything that would fit in stock and I don't want to pay shipping to "air" something from the mainland.
What's interesting is the owners of the two new bikes store are good friends there for I'm sure they are driving the bicycle prices in Hilo way up!
Well, here is a pic. from the Giant web site.
... And well have to see if we can get to the beach today...
