Okay. Thanks for the info. Looks like using that budget for only 7K each way
may be overkill. I will look to spend a bit less than that. Maybe even look
at a MTB with road tyres.

Hello,

My budget is anywhere up to $1500. What flat bar roadbike do you all
suggest. I have to ride approximately 7 kilometres, twice a day.


I'd recommend a Scott Sub10, except they're sold out...................
