That is some great points, for myself I can vouch for most of what has been said. I load my Giant Rincon down with panniers, trunk and cruise down the many roads in town. It is sad to see that often the roads are not at there best so once again the mtb comes out on top. I will admit I have not been on a road bike but I know I took my Schwinn Ranger 2.6fs for about 130 at Target, And covered close to 5000 miles before it was stolen and from there stepped up to the Rincon. And so far so good.

Great Insight.

Ride On....The holidays are here so ride some more
