So far it sounds like the Coda is what im looking for, If I like the ride (I wouldnt buy one without a test ride or two) I really cant spend more than the Coda Sport, and would likely just get the Coda as 8spd is plenty for me. Buying the standard model would leave me money for extras... seat bag, frame pump...etc.

So I gotta get out this week see what is out there. Gonna be a cooler week which is good for me and test rides. I sweat so much it sucks!
