My two cents? I have a Raleigh Sojourn, and have not regretted it at all. It has everything I need in a commuter/every day bike as it comes with a Brooks B-17, Brooks leather handlebar tape, rock solid racks, decent mud guards, great tires and even a pump! It's comfy for just a couple miles or for dozens. Just a thought...

Welcome, and I hope you are hapy with whatever purchase you make!
