Un like a Car, Bike = a frame with a brand painted on it,
and a bunch of interchangeable parts someone decided
the Rationale to fit them onto that frame.
price and features are some of those various considerations .
Talk to the Local Bike shop, they're there to sort out this stuff .
recommending a brand you have to travel 3 hours to find is not practical,
as any services after the sale.. will be another 3 or 6 hours.
some touring bikes and commuter bikes have Mountain triples,
just a different category..
go see what there is to come thru the LBS.
