Hello.
I am new to this forum and have been reading about hybrids. Went to three bike stores in my area, and found that I like the Crosstrail best of all.

But, like everything else, there are choices within choices.

I want to upgrade from the base level, but each upgrade comes with an increased price. I am trying to decide between the disc and the more expensive sport. Are the difference in the components worth the increase in price? Will I feel the difference in the ride, and or will some components last longer than others?

Any opinion you can offer will be considered.

Thank you.

Jason
