Thanks, yeah that makes the most sense of course. But I just wanted to know in terms of quality and reputation of the parts, components, and durability among the companies and models.

Like, I've heard of Trek as a bike brand before. But I've never heard of Phat Cycles, also was a little worried because it seems no one else on the forums or any of the other stores have heard of Phat Cycles. And, at some of the other employees from other stores have also at least heard of the Felt brand name.
