i'm going to get something comparable so i can ride on tow paths etc with her and not slide around on my track bike or road bike.
currently shortlisted the civia prospect, jamis aurora elite, surly LHT and salsa vaya 3. anyone have experience / thoughts on the relative benefits? i like the civia, there's something 'right' about it (in pics at least) and i hear the frames are nicely built. i'd thought about a genesis day 01 too but regardless of the quality, i just don't want a white bike with brown grips, like a bloody saudi porsche cayenne, or to have to get it immediately resprayed / buy new bar tape etc.
