I'm torn between the Indie 3 and the VFR 3, on my budget, is the difference between these two bikes really worth the extra 100 bucks? I'm doing a fair bit of commuting + hoping to use for my fitness needs to reduce the impact on my knees that running is taking. Sorry, I thought I had figured this out, but now I'm wishy washy.
Jmho, IF you could afford to go up to the VFR 2, then it would be the VFR hands down, but the VFR 3 against the Indy 3, I'd take the Indy 3 for it's step up componets for the price! Now, get the LBS (shop) to change out those 700Cx35 or 38 tires to 700Cx28 tires, that will make less road resistance and make the bike better for, road work, while still giving you a bit of "cush" comfort over 700Cx25's, YMMV. Whatever you choose, ENJOY!
