$800-1000 Road bike
Planning to buy Flat Bar Road Bike for $800-1000 ASAP.
For some reason, i hate having those Drop Bars. So do you guys know the best Road Bike that comes with Flat Bar instead of Drop Bar?
I live in B.C Canada and it is an Urban Place.
I will usually be riding it everyday to School at 3 miles.
Thanks and have a nice day!

Thank you for that. However, the style is not fit for me. I dont like riding "vintage-like" bikes.
Anyway, im thinking of getting either Specialized or Giant. Unfortunately, i am not sure what model i should be getting.

If you don't like the bars, you can swap them. Or is it the disk brakes that bother you? Specialized offers the Sirrus and Giant has the Escape.

i bought the specialized sirrus sport for my son's birthday last august and he loves it. it's a very good multi-purpose bike. and at $590 it's $200 below your minimum. if you must spend the extra money, upgrade to higher component model.

I did some research on both of those brands and im choosing between:
Escape RX (2014) | Giant Bicycles | Canada
or
Specialized Bicycle Components
I cant decide which one. There might also be a better choice out there.
