C'mon man,... this same question is posted God knows how many times, just worded differently EVERY WEEK...EVERY DAY. Either read the past Q's & A's, or search the web for the reviews of all the bikes YOU are interested in. YOU are the only one that knows exactly what YOU expect out of a bike, and YOU are the one whose butt is in that saddle, not us. YOU are the one that has to lay out the cash, so wouldn't YOU be the one that needs to make the decisions and call the shots? Yes. Please don't ask us to do YOUR research and to think for YOU. If YOU can post this question, YOU can run all over the web like YOU expect us to.
