    New bike, figured i would let my local nw people help.

    Budget: 1500 and under

    Use: work and commute

    Prospects but open to more: Dr Dew, Dew Deluxe, Dr fine

    Needed: Disc brakes

    As of right now im riding a Panasonic 7500. Awesome bike but the thing is going to kill me. Wrecked pretty narly after my chain popped. Anyways i know i could fix the popping problem but there is things in my line of work that i need to have. Disc brakes for example. You want to be able to stop when it comes to messing with 60ton buses.

    Work: I work as a delivery driver. Rain Stow Sun Fire i delivery in just about every condition. The delivery area consists of mostly flat road in downtown Seattle. some hills when going from ave to ave.

    Commute: Seattle to West Seattle. Mostly Flat road until i get to west Seattle. its all up hill from there.

    So i need it to be reliable and be able to go threw dirt and mud. I dont like the road bike handle bars, there just not my style. No suspension because i herd it tales a lot out of your pedaling and such.

    Let me know what you guys would suggest.
