Hi there Jabamgl!

Try all of the bikes you want. Then after this exercise, find a Jamis dealer and try a nice chromoly steel-framed bicycle. Either the Jamis Satellite Sport road bike or the Jamis Coda Sport hybrid bike will do just fine. The Jamis Coda is an award-winning hybrid bicycle that is an amazingly comfortable ride. It is also a very fast and nimble bicycle. Since its frame is made of chromoly steel, it will last for decades, if kept dry. The Jamis Coda will accept tires anywhere from 28 to 38mm in width. It can also be easily fitted with both fenders and rack.

Good Luck!
