Hi,
The Valencia wasn't about when I was looking for a similar speced hybrid. It ended up between a trek 7.3 and a Kona Dew Plus. Went with the Kona as it was more nimble and fun (for me). The Valencia's geometry and design looks very similar to the Kona - though the Kona is a bit less bling - even the Valencia's forks look a copy of the Kona's classic P2 forks. It might be worth considering?
