Continuing on our 2023 Bike Guides (see “Bikes Within Reach Below $1500” here), here is a depiction of what I would consider “mid-range” priced bikes.
2023 Bike Guide (Mid-Range)
2023 Bike Guide, Part 1 “Bikes Within Reach”
A few years back, I wrote a guide about some quality bikes that were “affordable” (realizing this is a relative term). Here is my 2023 edition. Bikes are listed from low to high in terms of pricing, and I am using the ceiling of $1500 as the pricing maximum. These are all bikes we can order for you and have ready to roll in a week (and sometimes less!).

2-Hour Rivendell Atlantis
Sometimes, in the winter, it can get a little lonesome at the shop. We keep the same hours year-round, but the staff gets spread out a little thinner, so consequently I have time in the shop on my own. Normally, that time is spent pounding away on the Microsoft Surface keyboard, but this morning was different.
