Thanks for the kind welcome. I have been searching and searching for a bike, and honestly, I am seriously confused on which type of bike to get. I mean I want to get a bike thats fast, comfortable, and able to mount a rear rack. The choices are mind boggleing. But I really like the Kona line. Maybe even a cyclocross bike. But with know experience in the handling characteristics of road,cyclocross,or touring bikes, I'm LOST LOL

Any advice would be very helpfull!

Thanks Howard
