Hey all,

I'm very much a noob and haven't biked in years. I've moved into Chicago recently and am looking at bikes now for various uses - I usually take the train to work, but some days I might use the bike to commute, most days though it'd simply be a way to get around town after work, and some weekends I might take it on a longer bike path up and down the lake shore here.

I've been steered towards 2 bikes mainly - Trek SU100 ('07 model, I doubt I need the disc brakes of the 200, that looked like the only difference) and Gary Fisher Nirvana '06 model. Anyone have an opinion on either of these two?

Or any other bike recommendations are more than welcome. I'm really, really new at starting to bike around the city.

Thanks for any help if anyone can.

EDIT: forgot to mention, I'd be getting a Nirvana that didn't have front fork shocks on it. Just rigid fork.
