Sorry for cross posting in several threads, but I'm a bit obsessed with a couple of bikes at the moment. Any opinions here on the Marin Muirwoods or Swobo Otis/Dixon? I have a pretty short commute with one slightly nasty hill. I've been riding my 1985ish Bridgestone 10-speed - which has held up surprisingly well, but isn't quite as comfy (or speedy, but maybe that's just my legs' fault) as I remembered it. The Muirwoods price range ($500ish) is more realistic. But, maaaan those Swobos sure look/read sweet.
