I have made my decision: Gary Fisher Tiburon

Since 2001, over 90,000 cyclist's have joined Cycling Forums to discuss topics from general cycling to equipment, training, racing and travel or vacation destinations (especially in europe during the tour de france). We also feature an great deals in our online store, 100's of articles, classifieds and product reviews.

In my price range, and with what my city has [in the several bike shops in town], I have decided to go with the 2005 Gary Fisher Tiburon. For the price range, it seems to offer the best of the models I've looked at:

Schwinn Voyager GS
Giant Cypress
Giant Farrago
Trek 7100

....just to name a few.

I hope to be riding it soon. My wife is getting me one for my birthday, which is the first part of August. :o

Well, looks like I spoke too soon. I ended up getting the TREK 7100 because the LBS outfitted it with Rapid Fire for the same price the Gary Fisher was going to be. I'm VERY glad. I get the Rapid Fire shifters AND the color I wanted! :D
