I have narrowed it down to four bike from different LBSs scattered around town. I have road them all but the LBSs are all seperated and is somewhat difficult to do A/B tests. Anyway I would appreciate your input and experience. They are listed below (with differences).
Marin Fairfax, $600, sora r/d, carbon fork, integratede shifter/brake.
Specialized Sirrus/Sport, $550/$600, sora/tiagra intigrated shifters.
Raleigh C700, $520, 105 r/d, carbon fork, shimano clipless M505 peddles.
Jamis Coda Sport, $600, deore r/d, steel frame.
The Raleigh seems to have an edge on price/components. Thanks for your input.
