Ok, so I test rode a Giant Revel 3 and a trek 8.3DS. The Giant left a little to be desired, but that was after I rode the 8.3DS which isn't a fair comparison. The trek bike was pretty solid, but not the bike I wanted to test ride or buy initially. I'll be test riding the 3700 on Tuesday to get a feel for it.
So I've narrowed down the bikes that I would like to get so far. I've attached the comparison charts so you guys could help me choose the best bike for me in terms of components/riding habits and whatnot. Also, I could get the 8.3DS for ~$550 (MSRP $670). If you have other bike(s) in mind, just let me know.
My purchasing price for a bike will be around <$550. I plan on using the rest of the money for accessories like lights, racks and/or panniers. Clothing and other stuff too. Plus I have to buy the extra tires and safety equipment including tubes and repair kits!
Thanks all!
