Thanks for answering my questions MetalPedaler. Yeah, I would of had no idea about the differences you would gain for that extra $60. Well, at the moment that Novara is available, but I'm second in line behind someone else who is going to take a look at it first.

If that bike becomes unavailable, then I'm seriously considering the Windsor Wellington 2.0 as at the moment it seems to be the best bike for the money. I will be looking at CL a bit more, but a lot of the same bikes keep showing up over and over. And they are all mountain bikes anyways.

We shall see how it goes.
