OK, so I needed a new bike. I have been visiting my local bike shops (LBS) for some time to see what I could get for my money. Everything I looked at in my price range was considered "entry level". I had worked in the bike industry 30 years ago at an LBS, and knew the mark-up on bikes. I started searching the internet for a bike and found Bikes Direct. Looked at the MB's and found the Motobecane Fantom 29. Arrived 6 days later, unpacked it put it together in about 2 hours (the bike was 50%) assembled out of the box. Tuned it up and went for a test ride. No issues-a real tight bike. I expect many years of used out of it. Quality is up there with my old Cannondale.
