Our friend, neighbor and co-worker, Larry, bought a new bike last week. Larry is a big guy and needed a bike that could take his power. Brian always scans the Yahoo Japan auction (as popular here as E-Bay is in North America), and last week he saw the perfect bike for Larry - a 2004 GT avalanche 2.0 with disc brakes.
It is a great bike for entry-level riders (which Larry is), and the frame and all the componenets are tough and durable. The bike was being sold by a bike shop in Kyoto, and it looks like they were trying to sell all their old (2004) stock; because it was a shop that was doing the selling, the bike came, brand new, fully (and properly) assembled, straight out of the box. Best of all, the price was right - only 40, 000 yen for the whole thing, including delivery.
Larry hefts his new bike out of the box on delivery day.
