We are at our fighting weights. Every now and then a good one breaks out around here
I didn't realize the CoMos were in the same 'class' as the Santanas. I've pretty much written off the Santanas. They're kind of like Harley motorcycles....good bikes but not worth the hype=$$$ for us.
Finding anything to test ride has been difficult. If I had a shorter wife there were several out there we could have ridden. As it is we were lucky to find the one Trek.
