I've narrowed down my bicycle choices even further. I want to purchase either a Trek, a Motobecane or the Kona Smoke.
I like the Trek 7100 and the Trek Navigator 3.0. The Trek 7100 and the Navigator 3.0 both have 36 spoke wheels.
From the Motobecane line I like the Motobecane Jubilee, the Jubilee Deluxe and the Elite FS. All 3 of the Motobecanes have the front suspension fork and 36 spoke wheels.
As for the Kona Smoke, I am not 100% sure, but I think that it also has 36 spoke wheels too. The Kona Smoke does not have the front fork suspension. But it does have the fatter tires and front and rear fenders. It also has the classic styling to it.
I want to narrow my choice down even further now and to pick out the 2 "BEST" bicycles out of the whole bunch. I would like the bicycle to have durability, comfort, speed, long distance capabilities, the ability to ride it on dirt and gravel roads as well as on paved streets and bike paths. Which 2 bicycles do you think that would be the best choice?
To narrow my choices down even further, which one of the Trek bicycles out of the 3 in my list do you think would be the best choice?
Also, which of the 3 Motobecane bicycles out of the 3 in my list would be the best choice?
And finally, how would the Kona Smoke compare itself or differ from the Trek 7100 and Trek Navigator 3.0 and from the Motobecane bikes? In other words, what are the similarities and differences of the Kona Smoke when compared to the Trek 7100 and the Trek Navigator 3.0 and the Motobecane Jubilee, Jubilee Deluxe and the Motobecane Elite FS?
What do you think are the differences and similarities between each bike from one another? Or do you think that there are very few to no differences between the Trek 7100 & Navigator 3.0 and the Motobecane Jubilee, Jubilee Deluxe and Elite FS and the Kona Smoke? I would like to hear what your views and opinions are regarding the similarities and the differences between each of these bicycles while comparing each bike to my needs that I've listed here.
THANK YOU
