I finally narrowed it down to these two bikes, any opinions on them?

I narrowed down to these two bikes myself, and ended up getting the Bad Boy Ultra based on my riding habits and style. Here are a few things to consider:

Internal hubs are maintenance free, but IF they have a problem, you will need professional help that may not be cheap;

The street is an excellent commuter, while the Bad Boy is just a good one. However, the bad boy can become a better commuter with basic upgrades. And a mountain bike with a new set of wheels. And a touring bike.

The street with internal hub will only be available in late october, while you can have your bad boy before the end of the day. :)

Good luck with your choice. I will have a better review of the Bad Boy as a commuter, with pictures, next weekend.
