Thanks for the replies everyone!
I have tested it at REI and I really enjoyed the funky handle grips and the capacity to carry more in case I needed. It was a smooth ride and Im a big fan of the disc brakes since I often ride in slightly rainier weather. I'm going to check out some of the bikes that were recommended on here before I get the Safari. It was a little heavier but I ride with a heavier steel frame currently so it wasn't too much of a switch.
Thanks again!
