I'm looking for a daily commuter bike that could also be fun to ride longer distances on the weekends. I've test rode a bunch of bikes, and these two rise to the top for me, however the price difference is huge, and I'm not sure which to go with. Is the All-City really worth the extra cost? I like the drop bars on the all city for moving hand positions (but would rarely move to the lower position, would bullhorn style bars work just as well?) I like that they both have disk brakes for riding in wet weather, and I really prefer the aesthetic looks of the All-city to the Jamis, they both feel pretty nice to ride, but I did feel more connected to the road on the Jamis.


Thoughts on which I should get? Pros and Cons, and is the significant price difference worth it?
