mark, here's what would help us recommend something for you, in addition to your price range and distance.
- what sort of terrain do you ride, flat or are there hills? how are you on the hills (i.e., do you need a granny gear)
- are you riding through the city with lots of stops at intersections?
- does it rain where you live and do you plan to ride through the rain?
- how import is speed vs. comfort? (i.e, would you rather have a cushy ride even if it's slower, or would you put up with more jarring bumps to go faster)
