Cross/hybrid bikes like novaro buzz? |
I went to the Marin REI today and test rode a lot of great bikes. Ironically, I liked a bike that I hadn't heard of before the most- the Novaro Buzz. I liked that it was nimble, easy to maneuveur, light weight, yet sturdy, but also fast and efficient. It was like riding the child of the Marin Muirwoods (urban) and the Marin Hwy 1 (road). However, $800 is more than I can handle spending. Is there something like it- a hybrid/cross btw an urban and a road bike for closer to $500? My second choice for a fun ride would be the Muirwoods. REI is extremely expensive. Even their discount items are more expensive than most other places. I honestly don't know how they stay in business. Unfortunately Novara is REI's house brand, which means you can't buy it anywhere else. There's no price comparison between retailers. However, that being said, the right bike is the bike that fits YOU the best. I would check out the lineup from Trek and Specialized. This way you can go to 1 shop and test the bike, then call other shops in the area to find the best price. The Trek Sport Urban (SU100/SU200) looks very similar to the Novara. Both are listed under $500, so you should be seeing a price closer to $400. http://www2.trekbikes.com/bikes/subcateg... um yeah try a cyclocross bike if thats what your looking for its the cross between a rode bike and a mountain bike its a lot more like a road bike and can be used as one. |
