I love my Raleigh Passage 4.5. It is very light and comfortable. My longest ride was 67 miles. I've done 50+ miles several times with no problems.
I also looked at the Trek 7.2 fx's and similar models. The Treks and Raleighs are almost identical. I bought the Raleigh because the LBS is much closer.
It's a very smooth, comfortable, easy riding bike.
I also have a Trek 820 mtb that I ride on rough gravel - something the Raleigh isn't made to do.
