I saw this on another forum, and thought I would share it here: For some reason ING Direct has some kids 24 inch Marin Bayview Trail Bikes, and they are selling them for $175 plus tax, with free shipping. While ING's site says their normal price is $245, Marin's MSRP on the Bayview Trail is $399. Guy on the other site ordered it, got it in 2 days, and posted pics -- looks good! The specs look pretty good, so I bought one for my son and he can't wait. Here's the link:

That link does not take you to the bike.

I believe the link is fixed now -- let me know if you have trouble with it. By the way, the photos on the other site are posted to photobucket, so o.k. to share here too:

If my daughter took better care of her bikes, I'd get her one of those.

I hear ya. My son is pretty good with his bike, and heck at that price it's cheaper than most half-decent used kids bikes with front suspension. He's got a heavy steel bike now with a rigid fork, so this should be a good step up.

Wow, I ordered one for my son on Saturday, and it arrived today. Granted, I'm in the next state over, but still pretty quick. I'll be putting it together later tonight.

Put together the bike for my son, and it went well -- just requiring minor tweaks to the brakes and shifting (as with most bikes delivered in a box). It's a super bike for the price, and my son loves it.
