As for me, I could either get an Escape 2 from the same place, or an Escape City myself, though it's a bit more than the femme model. Or, I'm still looking at that Jamis Coda Sport online.
At this point, people have pretty smartly talked me out of getting anything with a cheap suntour suspension.
That's too bad. The cheap Suntour suspension on my Roam 1 has been great. My commute to work is much more pleasant and when I need to I can lock it out and power up the hills without the bounce. I am glad I went with a suspended front fork.
