I didn't sell the Coda because of the gearing. It had the same mountain type gearing, with a triple, I put on my custom ti Guru, except my Guru has a compact double. I sold the Coda because my Guru was/is supposed to be a bike I would use for errands and commuting, in that I can put a pannier and top trunk on it. And, I do. But, essentially, it's a road bike with geometry a little more relaxed than my carbon bike. Last year, I ended up riding the Guru more than my Kuota, as that one lower gear makes it my bike of choice when doing big hills. I do use it for commuting, as I can lock it inside a stairwell, in an employee only entrance to my office, which is connected to a hospital. While I have locked it up outside in Concord center/west Concord, it makes me nervous. The Coda went to a new rider who works at my husband's company. And, my mountain bike went to a real mountain biker. I've been looking at the Terry touring type bike, now that it comes with STI shifters, but, I'd really love a mixte or other type of around town bike, eventually.
Murienn, it's been 3 years since I've had 4 bikes. I'll live.
