In that case the Rize may be the better choice. My riding will be general riding, mostly around the neighborhood and around town, with maybe a little bit on the crushed stone and other trails in some of the parks. I'm a former rider getting back into it after a quarter century of not riding. I know, longer than some riders have even been alive. Yikes. Anyway, I figure a brand new bike with lifetime warranty is a better option than a used bike with nothing. If it's a $2500 bike for $1k discount it's way better components etc. than if it's a current year $1k bike. Plus the whole psych boost of a good deal. I just really like the idea of 40% off too.
