Hi Andrew,

They have lots of information on a on all sorts of bikes. You might want to
look at the Breezer bikes to get an idea of all the options of a commuter
bike.

Subject: [OM] [OM][OT] Bicycle advice
Sorry about the OT post but I thought I'd tap the list's knowledge.
I'm looking at buying a bicycle for commuting. I'd like to get
something better than the department store special so I'm entering
into a world of vast selection in terms of parts.
I'm looking at a hybrid bike as this is going to be a bike that's
mainly used on the road. Given the hilliness of my city I'd say that
mountain bike gearing is a must but other than that I haven't gotten
too far.
Can anyone recommend some web resources for beginers to learn about
the different parts options with some pros and cons for the different
choices?
Where I'm looking at a hybrid bike my list of choices is fairly high.
I can build on a mountain or road frame, tire size, gearing (already
decided), etc.
I found a good shop in my city that can build the bike for me using a
mix of new and used parts so that will help on the budget but I need
to have more of an idea of what I'm looking for in terms of parts
before I can sit down with them and work out the details.
