Any other bikes you were looking at in that range? I just started looking for bike for myself for the first time in about two decades (my current bike is a Specialized Rockhopper from the mid 90s, which I still quite like) and am not particularly sure what to look for. I want a road/fitness type bike that will get 90% street/path time. Something agile and light weight, but not particularly fussy.
I was looking at an Opus Allegro 2, which I think had a nicer ride than the Comax (but also more $$) although I think I prefer the flat bars over the drop downs. Is that a big deal to swap out?
I tried an aluminum frame Felt, but the frame seemed to have very little in terms of absorbing any shock. I'm not sure I've ever really tried an aluminum bike that I've liked that much.
