Think im going with the Cdale. Will update with pics when the deed is done. Can always replace the stock Kendas with better tires when they wear out. I think the cromoly fork is a good compromise in weight and comfort. Cant wait to get riding again
Good choice and sound reasoning.
Can't hurt to ask about a discount on accessory purchases and on included maintenance deals. As previously stated, some have a year of free basic tune ups and some LBS's offer lifetime of the bike (original owner) free basic tune ups.
Will you get the Neon Spring color? Looks cool!
