I am considering buying a hybrid bike for myself (6'-0" 185 lbs) - mostly for recreational weekend biking (where I live, it is a bit hilly) and for occasional trail riding. I have tried out a couple - the Marin San Rafael DS-1 and the Fuji Traverse 1.7 (both in the $450 range). I have researched a couple of other models. Based on my previous experience in this forum, most people go by the components for recommendations. So I did a comparison chart for some models that I like.

These are the models I am considering:
Marin DS-1 LE
Fuji Traverse 1.7
Trek FX 2 Disc
Diamondback Trace Sport
Diamondback Haanjo Metro

Would love to hear thoughts on these models and possible pros and cons.

Thanks in advance,

DS
