Need Advice, Kona or Trek??
MMKay, well I'm pretty new to the serious cycling world, I would bike around campus all 4 years of undergrad and go riding with friends, sadly on my equivalent of a Wal-Mart bike.
I've since moved across the country and am going to be buying my first real bike. Unfortunately, as a student, I've only been able to scrounge up between $300-$400...which bumps me down to hybrid status. I've done research, on this and other forums, and I was pretty much set on a Trek 7100, and then one of my friends recently purchased a Kona Dew. I'm not bike savvy...and they pretty much seem the same to me. I would greatly appreciate anyone's advice, on either the specific models, or maybe the companies?? I would be using this as a fitness bike, casual road rides with friends on weekends, and hopefully the occasional 50mi. Thanks!!!  |

Actually, you're often paying a slight premium for the TREK name (and, some others!) which may-or-may-not be warranted ... your personal sense of aesthetics & the bike's cosmetics count ... so, factor THAT into your decision. |
