I have accumulated five bikes that needed some work, and now I have them all in good (original) operating condition.They are: Schwinn Crossfit, Schwinn Crisscross,Trek 3700 (disc), Specialized Ariel,and GT Outpost.
The bike will be used for some gravel FS roads, greenways, and easy mountain bike trails.I live in the mountains of NC, so every kind of riding includes a lot of climbing (and I am not a strong rider). I think all of them will work for the intended use, so it may just come down to which one is the most comfortable or which one I decide I like best. I would like to hear what others think about the choices, though; hence my post here. Which one would YOU choose?
