Another possible route to take would be to check out the REI in Soho. Should you get one of their house brand models (Novara), and you have any issues whatsoever, they'll take it back. Here's the link to their "urban" line. Of course, you could browse what else they have to offer- but not all brands they carry are offered in all markets that they serve. Best to consult the local store to see what they could offer you.
