I looked into the Metropolis,but couldn't get my local dealer to order one. Also wasn't too sure about the straight blade alloy fork. My Safari is awsome. It's been stone-ax reliable for me,despite being abused as a dialy commuter,bad weather,and polo bike. Comes with a rack,has a trekking bar,and will take 2" wide studded knobbies for snow. The touring triple/MTB 9sp also give a very wide gear range.

Better deal? Safari $850,Metropolis $1k.
