I'm a newbie looking for a bike for a short commute and fitness riding. I've narrowed down my shopping list to these two bikes (based on price, availability, and recommendations from this board).
I live in Hawaii, so availibility is a big issue. One LBS has a shipment of Treks coming in, so I should be able to pick one up for retail price. The Kona has to be special ordered, so it will end up costing $75 over retail. Unfortunetly, I can't ride the two bikes to compare, and I had to be fitted using higher end bikes with the same frame geometry.
Any thoughts? Thanks!
