Hi everyone,

I'm new here and looking for a fun bike that I can comfortably ride for shorter rides of 3-5 miles and longer rides of up to 20 miles. I like the electra ticino 8d, I test rode it and seems fairly quick and looks rather nice. I also really like the Pashley Princess, I don't mind that it's heavy. The Specialized Globe Daily 3 is nice too, but I have seen no actual reviews. The Pashley and Specialized I cannot test ride, which is part of what makes my decision so tough. The Pashley is definitely the highest quality, but if I am on a ride with friends on their Trek hybrids, I don't want to struggle to keep up, and I worry a little about it on hills since it has 5 gears. I don't know much about the Globe other than that it has 7/8 gears, looks comparable to Electra but I don't know enough about them.
Anyone have any advice?
Thanks in advance!
