Hi, guys! I am buying my first bike and I am looking between the Giant Cypress DX and Giant Roam 3. I would love to hear your thoughts on the Roam for a totally out of shape, chubby beginner. Some bike shops are pushing me towards the Cypress because of its comfort while others are pushing me towards something like the Giant ATX. I would think that the Roam would kind of be the best of both worlds but no one seems to carry it in stock. Do you guys enjoy it on road as well as on trails? I'm looking for a commuting bike (2.5 miles each way which is nothing) but in the future hopefully as I get used to biking going on 10+ mile long rides on the road. However, I also want to be able to go on just about any trail I want other than an actual mountain biking trail. I would be riding it road more often though. It seems like the Roam has better components than the 2018 ATX and unlike the Cypress has lockout on the suspension fork.
