agreed, those are very different bikes. as well as deciding about dropbars versus flatbars, you should decide on a budget. yes, the Space Horse is definitely with more money than any of the Coda bikes, but do you need what it offers? will you go off pavement? will you load up for a light tour or an overnighter? are you thinking about long rides events or on group rides or on your own? if you are doing none of that, maybe the Coda serves your purposes for considerable savings. if you would like to do such things, or even the option to do such things, maybe the All City is a better choice; Jamis does offer a similar machine in the Renegade.
