<p>I've been lurking this great community for awhile and I look forward to being able to contribute! As I mentioned, I am a newbie and have so much to learn about bikes/biking. <span>I've learned so much just from reading everyone's posts. I've narrowed my first "real" bike purchase to 3 different bikes and I don't understand all of the specs completely. I've ridden all 3 and really like them all. All are within $50 of each other. All are 2014 models and I'd love any help on telling the difference between certain specs and also which one is the most "future proof." Quick background, I won't be commuting daily with the bike. I live in Chicago and it will be all urban riding with minimal hills. I'm 5'9, 180lbs. Thanks in advance! Here are the final contenders.</span><br/><br/><span>1.

As we continue our way down beside the historic DuPage River to Dorothea Weigand Riverfront Park, hot refreshments and A LOT more!!! </p>

I already have too many bikes and I'm leaving the country for a few months in a little bit so I my loss is your gain. This bike retails for $770 MSRP. I am selling it for 600$. I rode it once just to check it out and this bike is super fun to ride. It comes with a super awesome bike pump (that's 40$ at REI) and cool blue fenders. The brooks brown leather saddle, brooks handlebar tape, bell and cantilevers alone are drool worthy. If you'd like to come by and test ride just email me and let me know. This bike is a 55cm.
