Hey Tom! You're gonna be in the running for one of those "great hubby" awards, I can tell.

Just a little something to add to your reseaerch... the April 2005 issue of Bicycling is pretty much dedicated as a buyers guide. It reviews a whole range of bikes. You might want to pick it up at the mag store.

Good luck! And don't forget to get your wife to sign up here on TE.
