Wow that was fast, a lot of good Info here, I will definitely be going to a local bike shop bIkeshop before I make a purchase. I was looking into those surly steam rollers and the volume cutter v5 which is pricey bib if it lasts long I'll pay a little extra, it'll probably come down to what suits me better when I go check them out in person.

I will be using it for riding around my town (down town riverside ca) , going to the mountain roads for rides as well as the beach. If that helps out .

Thanks for all the helpful input
