I may not know which components are worth what dollar amount, but I know I need a bike that I can depend on. I'm sure you've built computers for people who know nothing about the components you used, yet they can appreciate that the computer performed well and didn't cost them too much.

I apologize if I sounded critical, that was not my intent.
I was doing what I do with all my computer customers, get them to talk about how they plan to use it rather than talking about technical details.
I agree a $100 bike is probably not a good choice, but $800 sounds a bit steep for relatively low usage.
If you use it infrequently, renting might be a good choice. let somebody else deal with the maintenance and such.
