Questions about the Novara Forza

[vgnfreightedge]

Hey there,

I'm new to the forums, and I hope to learn a lot while here.

I found a very good price on the Novara Forza at REI, and I was wondering if anyone has has experience with this bike. It's main use will be commuting, but I'm taking it on a tour from Olympia, WA to Santa Cruz, CA in a week - any opinions on this bike?

Think Randonee from REI would be more suitable for you applications. Designed for your applications.
Forza is discontinued and likely why the price is attractive.
However, REI is doing their anniversary sale May 21 - 31 get 20% off.
