| 1659.1 | Sounds like a good deal to me... | BAGELS::GOTANTAS | | Tue Jul 24 1990 12:27 | 5 |
| A friend of mine was looking at the Katana last year...I believe that
the price was $375-$400. I'd say that if you can get one for $225 with
full warantee, you're getting a good deal. Just make sure that the bike
fits you properly and that the shop will service it "with a smile".

| 1659.2 | nice bike | WFOV12::SISE | | Tue Jul 24 1990 16:20 | 12 |
| I got one for my son. I think for the price it was a deal! I just
wish one had been available when I bought my wife's bike as it
would have saved me $250.
I did test ride my son's bike and it was very smooth. I did not
have a chance to put it through any real demanding situations, but
I feel that it is WELL worth the money.
It is worth the $225 just for the Group and the wheels, sort of
a free frame.

| 1659.3 | Sounds good, thanks. | CRBOSS::BEFUMO | Between nothingness and eternity | Tue Jul 24 1990 16:30 | 3 |
| Thanks - it seemes like such a good deal that I'm going to grab one for
my wife and one for myself. The fellow happens to have our exact sizes
in stock, too.

| 1659.4 | Frame feedback? | CRBOSS::BEFUMO | Knowledge perishes - Understanding endures | Tue Aug 28 1990 17:55 | 4 |
| Any opinions of the Katana frames? The one I have says Tange (either
Infinity or Prestige, I'll have to check) double butted on it - is
this a positive indication? indifferent? Is this a frame that might
be worth eventually putting better components on?

| 1659.5 | TANGE INFINITY and PRESTIGE tubing are 2 very different animals | BCSE::KLASMAN | ALL-IN-1 DESKtop for PCs. dtn 381-0731 | Wed Aug 29 1990 09:09 | 5 |
| TANGE INFINITY is low end tubing, seamed I think. Soft and heavy. TANGE PRESTIGE
is very high end, wonderful stuff. Stiff and light. You probably won't find
PRESTIGE on a bike that's < $1000.

| 1659.6 | Oh well. | CRBOSS::BEFUMO | Technical competence is the servant of creativity | Wed Aug 29 1990 11:46 | 2 |
| I checked last night & it's infinity - oh well. I thought that
double-butted tubing was never seamed?
