Looking to go out this afternoon and buy a new bike. Have been using my Raleigh Sprite to commute to work (8km each way) in downtown Toronto almost daily for about 3 years now, and the bike needs some work. Thinking I might just as well upgrade to a new bike. Have done some research, and narrowed it down to a couple models/brands. Looking for opinions from others.
I've been looking at:
Trek 7000 (or 7100), Specialized Expedition (or Crossroads), or Giant Cypress DX.
Any opinions welcome.
ps. my budget is kind of restricted due to 1) money!!!! and 2) fact that I have to lock my bike up at work outside, and don't really want to encourage theft by having a $2000 bike glinting in the sun.
