Thank you so much.
No I didn't test drive it yet. First, I'm trying to find a few models that meet what I'm looking for. First bike, under 1000, mostly road, some trail path. Cyclocross and hybrid fit the bill. I plan on trying them first of course. Most lbs do custom fitting with new bikes.
I didn't mean obscure like a private builder that only locals would know. I mean Google searches gave me very little. No youtube videos at all on either bike. That's super rare. I was also interested in the Trek FX 7.2 and immediately found dozens of video reviews on YouTube.
I should also mention that the Devinci is a year older. That also influenced the price. I haven't actually looked into what they changed for the 2016 model. Often, it is just a new color.
