I vote Cross Check. It is a tank and you can ride it like it's a mountain bike if you want. As long as you don't jump or drop higher than 3 feet or so to flat you won't hurt it. The bars rotate in the stem when you are riding on the hoods if you start to push your luck. If mine will take the abuse I have put it through you have no worries on anything resembling roads. If you think the gearing range is too narrow on the stock Cross Check, an 11-32 cassette will fit with a little derailer adjustment.
