Hi,

I've been looking for a commuter bike and almost settled on the Priority Continuum Onyx. However, the bike struggles on hills and the twist shifting has been putting stress on my wrist and I have a feeling that the pain will only get worse. I've been approved to return the bike which I might do.

So, I'm back to square one and looking for a solid commuter bike. Ideally I'd like it to do well on hills and not be super heavy. A more upright position, but the shifters can't be twist. I'm coming off a 90s Specialized Hard Rock, which I really loved.

Does anyone have a starting point for a brand or model that I can look into?

Thanks in advance.
