I never really cared for the suspension fork on pavement. Not that it was a big deal, but it didn't seem to really have much of an effect on softening harsh pavement over my straight fork bikes.
I also still like the feel of a mountain bike frame especially for commuting.
It really does seem the Dew is the perfect bike for me. I was just wondering if there was another one out there somewhere that was similar that I should being taking a look at.
Have a look at the Marin Kentfield! But I do like the Kona Dew lineup myself. Especially the steel Dr.Dew
