Without knowing what your local bike shops carry, there's no way for me to give you a recommendation. I can tell you that anything you're going to want to put the bafang set up on is going to be over $300. If you were out here, I could get you a great deal. Three of my friends own bike shops.

Yeah, $300 ain't going to cut it. The last bike I bought was $2,200 back in 2003.

The 9 speed in the rear is still good to have over a 7 speed. Hybrids generally come with 700c wheels, that's the same size as a road bike but wider. They are basically 29". Also, get stainless steel spokes on the wheels or the spokes will rust out in no time. Get trigger shifters, not twist shifters that come on the cheap bikes. And do not get a steel frame bike, aluminum for sure. Giants are fine as are all the name brands. Again, it all has to do with the components. I ride a Fuji hybrid as my everyday bike. It has high end components. The owner of the shop I did repairs for is a Fuji dealer and gets their bikes for less than half off. I paid him $300 for an $800 hybrid. He is also an electric bike dealer. If you were out here I could get you an amazing price on an electric bike.

Hey we may need to talk!!!

Turbos are like titties. The bigger, the better.

I've been out of bicycles for a while. Haven't kept up with some of the changes. The last 3 bikes I had were the Litespeed Ti road bike, A aluminum framed GT MT, and the cro-moly Trek 990 I have now. Almost bought a LOOK carbon frame back in 2001 or there abouts. $5,000 just for the frame.

My hip started to go bad and I just quit riding for the most part. Still put a few miles on each summer.
