Though I agree with the Voyageur being the best, but if your looking for just something to get around on I wouldn't take the La Tour off the list (even though I'm kind of a Raleigh guy, that'd be the last on the list of the four). The La Tour is only $150.00 and I personally don't think the GT is $300.00 more bike than the La Tour. Perhaps if were going to do more hilly stuff, but on the flats the difference will be negligible.
