Did Target charge shipping or do they have some sort of free shipping for some items or ship to store?

I got free shipping,but I had to pay sales tax.

 

[Nagant]

With free shipping Target is by far the better deal for this bike. The sales tax is not surprising because large chains such as Target, WalMart.... have stores in every state. Well almost every state, looks like Target doesn't have a store in Vermont.

I saw this the other day at Toys R Us and was a bit bummed at the weight. I know they are Fat Bikes but dang it's heavy!

I LIKE BIKES

Yea I saw that ,too. They are are heavy, so pay alittle more and
buy the Dolomite that has gears and fancy brakes...Stevil

That Dozer costs as much as a Dolomite from Target!

Well, my bike came this morning. Got it put together, went for a short ride. I like it more than the beast I had. Gears make a big difference.

Just got my Dolomite this morning. When I got it home I notice the other side of the box. I did site to store, but failed to look on the other side. Worked all night so won't have time to open it up for now.

I bought mine (Dolomite) on sat 6-28 from Walmart for $249...paid an extra $2.97 to have it arrive on 7-3 so I could assemble and ride at beach on the 4th....I will be making it more of a cruiser then "mountain" style....pics will be posted.
BTW the stickers come off VERY easy

Changed stem to old skool Mongoose BMX $9
Changed mtn bike bars to 16" apes(brake cables will be routed thru bars) $3(cable housing)
