so I went to the LBS today and tried on a couple bikes, tried the trek 7.2(?) and the giant rapid, I like both bikes, the seat needs a little getting used to. I told him that I would be commuting 40 miles 3x a week and he recommended those two, and also the Giant Seek but he said if I were to go with the Seek he recommended the seek 1 which has 27 gears.

Although I really like the seek 0, but it has 8 gears only. Would you guys still recommend the Seek with 8 gears? considering that within the next year or two I will be living in San Francisco? or should I go with the one that has more geering?
