Thanks for the welcomes. Currently my budget is leaning toward a Trek 4300, a Gary Fisher Opie, or a Jamis Ranger SX. Ridden the 4300 and Opie. I love how the Opie looks but like the ride of the 4300 better. Next I want to ride the Jamis and a similarly priced Cannondale at another dealer. And Top... Rockland is definitely one of the the last vestiges of a true working waterfront. The Museums and galleries are encroaching rapidly on my redneck ways however...LOL
