Information (good or bad) can only help.
  1. Trek 8.1 DS (Gary Fisher Collection) – 2014 17.5-inch
  2. Trek Verve 3 – 2015 Trek Black/Cosmic Black, 17.5-inch


Thank you,

Eddie
Did you look at and rule out the Giant Roam 3?

Roam 3 (2015) | Giant Bicycles | United States

It has a better fork than the Verve and better running gear than the Trek 8.1 DS.
