I ride about 6 miles per day to school and the market, etc. I have been looking at these two bikes and the San jose is sweet because of the stock tires. Wondering peoples thoughts on the two. Thanks!

the triton looks nice. fyi, the '08 san jose's may be had at a discount --- got mine for $610.

re the st. joe, i have yet to hear any positives about the alex solo rims for cyclocross purposes; and cannot determine the triton's wheel from the spec sheet. is it an entry-level bontrager?

just using it to commute but I like the thick tires because of flat prevention. Not looking to be trendy or go ridiculously fast, just want a reliable bike

hornytoad

either will be reliable. here we've goatheads, so none of the offered tires are reliable enough to me. i've got schwalbe marathon pluses to help prevent flats.
