My awful, awful Huffy MTB bought from EBay for $70 is no more, so I need to upgrade!
I'm tossing up between the Kona Dew Plus 08, the Smoke 2-9 08 and the Scott Sportster P5 - mainly used for general commuting around Melbourne, road, bike path, that sort of thing. Not really off-road - the ocassional bit of gravel and grass perhaps.
At the moment I'd only be riding about 10km a day, plus maybe a bit on the weekend, but hopefully that'll increase as I get fitter! What are the standout differences between these bikes for that sort of use?
I only have a budget of about $600, maybe stretching a bit higher for very good reason. Are there other bikes I should consider?
I'm about 185cm, 110Kg.
Cheers
