if you are going to compare my bike to Novara bikes, mine is currently more like the Randonee. The Verita is much lighter and seems more nimble.
The verita is a classic road bike. I'm skeptical that it's a huge improvement over the c-mute but hey you get a good employee discount and you can sell of the c'mute. I'd be tempted to keep the stock wheels for commuting and get a nicer set for long rides. The bike comes stock with 25c tires and fenders; can it take a 28c and fenders? Just asking because that's a nice size for commuting.
