I'm looking to pick up a commuter/hybrid/city bike as a third bike (I currently have road and mountain bikes) to be able to ride with my young kids as well as take out in place of the road bike (maybe an occasional foray off road.
I'm looking at the three in the subject and know the Bad Boy and Mendota are not set up for off road as equipped but with a quick swap of wheels/tires, that should not be a problem. However, this bike will primarily be used on payment so the off road thing is not a huge issue.
Anyone have experience with any of the three bikes? I'm leaning toward the Montare but not sure. The 2011 are not yet in the dealers where I live (probably in 2-4 weeks they should appear) so I have not been able to ride any.
Thanks in advance.
