The Metro 9 is on my radar, but I had to pass on it for now. No shop in town stocks it, and the one that would order it isn't too keen on me exchanging it if I don't like it (like that's really gonna happen, but still...). And going from 26x1.5 tires to 700x28 maybe a bit of a shock, so I'm going with a Specialized Sirrus Sport (mulling over the color now) and turn my current Kona into my lab rat- I need to develop wrench skillz!
