I am looking at purchasing a road style bike. I have been commuting for 4 months on a Gary Fisher hardtail. I am thinking the road bike will be more efficient. I would love to get a Surly cross check or similar, but funds dont really allow for that. Here are some that I will be trying out this week. My concern is this, are these worth putting some time/money into? What would you recomend? Thanks for any help. http://s661.photobucket.com/albums/u...by-ricigliano/
