Hi,
Just erring back into cycling and need some buying help. 50 years old and in decent shape, lots of riding opportunity around both on pavement and trail.

I'm interested in a hybrid in spite of knowing there are some drawbacks to a 'all-in-one' solution and I have a nearly new but 15 year old Kona Caldera for the trails if I know that's where I'm heading in advance.

I've looked hard at the Specialized Crosstrail and really like the sport disc version....the sales guy has all but convinced me that wet brakes are the way to go! Have looked at Giant Roam and Raleigh Misceo lines as well....going to look at Jamis and the Trek DS 8.3 Gary Fisher this week sometime. Just found the Scott Aspect 940 this morning and for the price, it seems like an amazing deal.....like $100 cheaper or so than the crosstrail......thoughts about the 940 in relation to the others? I'm always keen to find a deal, I have to admit. The Scott info says its ok on pavement and I need it to be! Not much info on the web from users.

Thanks, John
