That said, I disagree with how Specialized has done this. Strong wheels are a good thing. But hydraulic discs on a comfort bike is puzzling. And the drivetrain components are underspec'd.

Have you thought about other models? Why did you lock in on the Roll?
Well, I have a Cannondale SL2 29Er and hate it! I'm big & tall (>300 lbs and 6'7"), and the bent over position kills my wrists, not to mention my back and butt... I'm 38, so not too old yet. However, I love performance and hate buying cheap stuff.

I would like an upright, or close to it ride, that will support my weight/height. I live in SWFL so everything is flat and beaches with shared use paths everywhere. I'm thinking a hybrid/cruiser is the best for recreational use. Do you have any other suggestions?
