I think its time I got myself a decent commuter/ day trip bike that can handle the mixture of cycle paths and fire roads around Canberra.
Also, as fun as commuting on a 29er is (apart from running out of gears on the flats), I feel like I'd be better off keeping it tip top for the trails.
Just looking at entry level stuff at the moment (< $1500) and wondering what others have got, and opinions on my shortlist:
Norco Search A Sora (current favourite)
Kona Rove AL (seems lowest spec'd, but I'm a Kona frame fan)
Specialized Diverge A1 sport (never been a fan of the big S, but this bike looks pretty good)
With EOFY coming up and new models on the horizon, it might be a good time to get a bargain too.
