I didn't know if we were allowed to give "shout outs" to the wonderful bike shops here . . . but now that I've been asked, here goes:
Bikes And Moore of Hopkinsville, Kentucky is a wonderful bike shop . . . and we were helped by a very nice guy named Dave Diamond. If any of you ever get the chance to pass through Hop'town, look them up!
I've decided to get the '06 Venture 3.0 for now . . . and I'm looking into hybrid type bikes for myself. I'll ride the Venture for a week or two and then go back to the bike shop and try something else. That way I'll have a pretty good idea of where the "comfort" bike fits into my needs.
Thanks for all the input guys!!!!
