Hey guys,
So I'm new to the forum and bikes in general. I am currently a college student who is getting sick of driving to campus everyday now that the weather is getting nice. I've started looking into some cheaper bikes that are in my price range ($500 -$700). So far I can't decide between the Giant Roam 1 or the Giant Seek 3. I like that the Roam 1 can be used more for trail ridding and that it has some suspension for a less bumpy ride. The Seek 3 is lighter and faster and seems to be more of a commuters bike (which is what it will be mainly used for) but has no suspension what so ever and is a very bummpy ride. My commute to class everyday is roughly 2 miles and contains several hills. What bike would be the better pick? I've already contacted my LBS and they are building a Roam 1 in my size for a test ride on Monday. Any suggestions or advice would be very helpful!
Thanks!
