Crushed limestone mostly, with some light offroad/singletrack stuff. Nothing too extreme, I have a mountain bike for that purpose.

I would say get the Roam 2 or as high spec as you can afford.
The Roam 2 was the bike I was really looking at, still just looking for some good insight and maybe some things I have over looked.

Good suggestions, I honestly didn't even take notice of these bikes at all. They look similar to the Roam 2 from Giant, am I wrong in this assessment?
