Thanks for the input. I didn't realize how low my budget was till now. The Co-Motion is out because this years lineup doesn't have disk brakes and they are too expensive. The Raleigh Sojourn is barely in my budget. Looks like I might have to get one of the two that I mentioned above and upgrade the bars to at least trekking bars. The Safari is great too, but I doubt that my LBS can get one.
