Entry Level Cross
Finally getting back into the game after a forced (stolen ride) hiatis from two wheels. Used to have a mountain bike, and found myself doing quite a bit of commuting and distance rides along with the weekly trip to the trails. Have come to the conclussion that a Cross Bike is the way to go. Have been looking at three so far..... Jake (Kona) / Cross-Check (Surly) / Volpe (Bianchi). Could use any good/bad info, and other suggestions for similar bikes in the under $1000 range. Haven't settled on anything yet and the local shops seem to carry just about anything. Don't want to miss any options.
