[QUOTE=JA TREK;20320490]I ride on roads, but many of the roads here in NY are so choppy, with potholes and debris it can feel like off-roading at times. In the picture shown, I took a little pitstop at a nearby creek to cool off. How do you like your Verve?

I'm really liking it so far. I upgraded the grips to Ergon GP5's and those have made a big difference in comfort and no hand or wrist pain on longer rides. Everything else on it is stock. I'm using it for casual rides and this week I bike commuted to work twice on it and it worked fine. I did just order a Topeak rack and trunk bag that I'll install this weekend. For true trail riding I have a Trek 4900 MTB that I use. The Verve definitely is a little rougher ride than my MTB due to the lack of suspension but I'm mainly riding it on roads and MUP's so its not been a big issue unless I'm going over some rough patches. Handles and rolls pretty good.
