Well Guys, after playing with a hybrid I find myself wanting more speed and a road bike, however withtin a Budget. Sportchek has two bikes within my budget, the Jamis Ventura Comp 2012 and the GT Series 4 2014. The Jamis is onsale for 599 from 999 and the GT is onsale for 640 from 799, I further have a 20% coupon. At face value the Jamis does seem like a better deal since the discount is much larger.

I don't know much about bikes but the Jamis has thumb levers for shifting whereas the GT uses the microshift levers for boht directions.

Could someone chime in and suggest which bike is the better bike?

Thanks!
GT Series 4 2014:
