Thanks again guys for the suggestions! Also looking into the Cannondale CAADX bikes since I got to try one out a the local Cannondale dealer. Oh man trying to choose and buy a new bike isn't easy!

And yeahh I guess the bike is more of a "urban commuter" / cruiser bike, but still it's no easy feat. It doesn't always hold up well and I need to make on-the-go adjustments while I'm out there. The worse part is riding near the sea with the high-bar position... I'm practically a kite in those headwinds.
