I've narrowed it down to two: the Kona Dew or Trek 1000.

my commute is ca 18 km each way on mainly bike lanes and roads. If i want to I can take a shortcut through some woods the last 5 kms. I really don't expect to ride all through winter, but it is my goal that someday be able to bike the whole year -- come snow, come shine.

the money is not an issue, the difference aint that big.

I like them both, but am leaning towards the Trek, mainly because I've always dreamt of being a racerchick.

but maybe it's not really in me.

please help. i need to decide before lunch tomorrow, since the offer only stands until then.
