Hello all. I am so excited about getting into cycling. I have been researching and testing riding for weeks now and finally ready to buy... I just can't decide on which bike. I really liked the Specialized Dolce, but it is above my price range. My first choice is the Giant Avail 3 - I can pick it up for $750 or... I found a 2010 Jamis Ventura Sport that I can get for about $200 less, I just won't be able to test ride it. Both have comparable equipment and geometry so I'm pretty sure the Jamis will fit me. The biggest difference in the two is the fork. Giant has composite and Jamis is Cromoly. Will it make that big of a difference? I plan to use the bike mainly for fitness (no tris or races, yet hopefully riding 20 miles 2-3 times per week on flat roads, we don't even have hills in New Orleans. Which brings up another difference, the Giant crankset is a triple whereas the Jamis is a double Any advice is greatly appreciated!
