The Dew is a really great bike. I have a Kona Smoke and if I had it to do over I would have gotten the Dew. It has 700 wheels a light frame and higher gears. I've been commuting here in Cleveland for the past year and the weather don't get much lousier than this- snow, rain- and I haven't had a single mechanical problem with my Kona. They make an excellent product. Go with the Dew you'll never regret it.
