I imagine that's USD, but ...what?! I paid about 800$ (CAD) for mine (taxes included), a Louis Garneau hybrid (locally based brand, very good quality). I've had it for over two years and get it tuned up semi-regularly. One good tip I've learned though, is have them reinforce the nozzle area of the innertubes with a patch, whether or not there's a hole. The reason is that with use, the rubber around the nozzle area becomes weaker (eg., moving the nozzle around when attaching the pump), so patching the area around it steadies the nozzle into position, making it less prone to breaches, and if/when there is one: a) Either the innertube breaches, but the patch prevents any immediate problems. or B) the patch breaches If the patch breaches but the innertube hasn't (yet); Huzzah! You get a bit of extra use out of it! That's pretty much what happened to me with my first flat; the area around the nozzle split open, so I had to get a new innertube, that's when the guy suggested the patch idea and did it for me! ... Two days later I rode over a rusty piece of metal and pierced my tire & innertube :S lol Good luck and have fun!
