Hey there Mi77915!
These are my ordered preferences:
1) Jamis Allegro Comp - Has the best drive train + rapidfire shifters
2a) Quick CX4 -
Has relatively decent drive train + disc brakes + ez shifters.
2b) Trek 7.3FX - Has better drive train - no disc brakes + ez shifters
PS.
If you get to the Jamis dealership to try the Allegro Comp, check out the Coda Sport, as well.
