Welcome To Bike Forums, Nak!

IMHO, Treks are all nice bikes, but tend to be overpriced. Konas are fine, but their prices are somewhat inflated too, unless there's a sale. Therefore, your from your list, I choose the Giant Escape by default.

However you really do need to expand your list. On your list should be the following:


The Jamis Coda Sport ~ $560

The Raleigh Misceo ~ $530

The KHS Urban Express ~ $570

The Schwinn Sporterra Sport ~ $495

* The KHS Xpress is most probably the best deal here, due to the fact that it is a 9 speed. All the others are 8 speeds. Plus the Schwinn has an aluminum alloy fork. All the other forks are chromoly!

The Coda Comp is better than them all!

The Jamis Coda Comp ~ $775
