Sure. I would say, in no particular order: 1. Pedigree (who the builder is and his history of making good bikes) 2. Track record (how the bikes built have stood the test of time/ elements/owner's abuse and or love :) 3. Comfort (how comfy I happen to feel on this particular bike) 4. (bonus!) Attention to detail. I like the hearts in the lugs and the poetry on the seat tube panel
I woulda kicked down for an Atlantis if I'd had the ducats. Maybe..someday.. but this here Betty is good for what I need a bike for now. I can see me tooling around on it as an old lady!
