At your pricepoint Giant Escape probably can't be beat. Now all you need to do is find an LBS that is
close and can support your needs. Good Luck. You two are going to need BIG bikes, so buying NEW may be best.
Thanks. Is the escape 2 a worthwhile upgrade to the escape 3? Worth another $100 or meaningless on this bike?
If I get into this to the point where I need to sell the escape and get a better bike, I will without hesitation. Just want something solid to start out.
