hmm, well i dont know much but that has me thinking. my whole point for wanting a hybrid type bike in the first place is to commute back and forth to school and work. to school is paved roads (street) and to work is a trail which is both packed dirt and paved road at some parts, so about 10 or so miles a day. i rode a regular ol mountain bike a couple days and it was heavy, had be out of breath, and (im assuming) with 1 speed made peddling all the more difficult. Now, if this bike won't make me feel like i did on the MTB then i consider it a good start (im not looking for speed or anything yet, just something i dont feel like im peddling through mud) and of course a decent price (i will upgrade around tax season and get something awesome).
im not really in a rush as school starts in a few weeks and will for sure need one by then but i also dont want to pass up a good deal.
thanks for the response, i am literally an hour away from going to see this bike
