Hi everyone, I’m looking for a decent commuter / fitness bike for the Savannah, GA area. I’ll be riding a modest 5-10 miles a few times per week. I’m looking at fitness/urban/commuter/gravel bikes because of the poor road conditions here with occasional potholes and cobblestones. I like the idea of beefier tires compared to a road bike, but I don’t think I need front suspension. I’m also trying to keep it fairly budget friendly because bike theft is an issue here. Of course it will be kept indoors but you never know.
I’m an early 30’s fairly athletic male. 5’10 and 175lbs. Would that be a Medium bike frame?
Here are some that I’m interested in:
– Specialized Sirrus X 2.0 – $619
– Giant Escape Disc
– Marin Fairfax
– Motobecane with Shimano gears/drivetrain from Bikesdirect.com (There are some other interesting options there) $500-650
Please feel free to add any recommendations. Thank you!
