The Transend seems a bit lighter than the Cypress (my wife has the step-through Cypress). It's also nimbler. I think the suspension on the Cypress gives you a little more comfort at the expense of...

The CRS series looks similar to the Gary Fisher Fast City series of bikes. If you are in the US looking for something like a CRS, you might want to check them out.

The Giant Sedona is the sister of the Cypress, but with knobby tires for slightly more off-road usage. You might want to try that out. It's also about $10-20 less if memory serves.

Stopped by the LBS today and rode the Cypress. They don't have a Tran Send in stock, but the owner is ordering one for me to take for a spin. I liked the Cypress, but am not crazy about the twist...

Looks like the Tran Send is the exact same frame as the Cypress but with rigid fork and seat post, rapid shifters, upgraded components, and rack/fenders. So if one wants an upgraded rigid Cypress,...

FRC3 and 7.2FX - best for the money
