Just when I thought was narrowing the field- another contender.
Visited an LBS yesterday and thay had a Cannondale Road Warrior 400 on sale (2007 leftover) The saleman was very high on this bike - he owns all Canondale's. He said the Road Warior 400 is a better bike for the same price as the TREK 7.3FX. I road both on a very short ride - but still not sure. (I think the Jamis is out only because most stores don't carry it and I want to be able to ride at least 2 different bikes at each store)
But basically - this just keps getting harder not easier!
