Kona Dew or Jamis Coda

[KnottedYet]

"Are the Kona Dew and Jamis Coda also in this category?"

I had a Dew. (with regular brakes)
I loved it. Sometimes I still miss it.
The road buzz from the aluminum drove me nuts. Some folks can feel it, some can't. YMMV. I love my steel Surly Cross Check with a burning passion. I love my steel Kona Smoke with a softer passion of a different sort.

Try a Kona Smoke while you're at it (similar price range) and don't forget the difference you can get from changing the tires...
