If there's a Performance Bike in your area, the Schwinn Coffee is also a nice choice that fits your needs.
Good luck!

Thank you. There is a Performance Bike over in Walnut Creek so I will go check it out. Thanks for the tip. Also, I'm wondering why the Electra is so much more expensive than the Trek. I think they are about twice as much when purchased new. Are they that much better of a bike? And if so, what features make them so much better? And since the used bike is pristine condition...or at least appears to me to be....would it be worth considering the used bike for close to the same price as the new Trek? See the dilemma?
