    Como vs Vado- HELP!

    The Como is still only charcoal. Vado has more options.

    Como vs Vado- HELP!

    Agree with your point. It isn’t the aerodynamics of the Vado that appeal to me- its the better fenders, the suspension fork, the rear light placement, the included rack and, yes (much as I hate to admit it) the colors.

    Maybe the Vado with stem riser and cushier seat.....hmmm...

    Como vs Vado- HELP!

    I am probably leaning toward the Como at this point...but still not 100%. I have until tomorrow to decide before the rebate goes away.

    Which riser did you install?

    Como vs Vado- HELP!

    My LBS also sells Trek and he said that I should sit on the Verve Mens and the Verve Womens- that the Mens sits like the Vado and the Woman Sits like the Como. From a quick look at geometries online, that seems plausible so I am heading over there shortly to check them out--not to buy a Trek but...

    advice : $2k budget for a torque sensor upright relaxed 2-3 inch tires

    That is truly the worst eCommerce website I’ve ever seen!

    Como vs Vado- HELP!

    That’s exactly my thought/concern—is that over time the Como will be more limiting if I find that I really get into biking more frequently.

    Como vs Vado- HELP!

    Normal ride will be fairly leisurely. I think what I am coming down to is that I WANT the Vado but should probably get the Como.

    Como vs Vado- HELP!

    It’s killing me that I might have to make this decision without physically comparing them.

    Como vs Vado- HELP!

    I have never been guilty of analysis paralysis (resulting in not pulling a trigger) but definitely guilty of overthinking. My fear with the Vado is that it will feel too aggressive. But my fear with the Como is that it will feel to laid back. Uggh... I go back and forth but slightly edging to...

    Como vs Vado- HELP!

    What I am learning from all of the great responses here is that I REALLY wish I could ride them back to back. Sadly, no one has them locally and going farther afield to find them isn't an option during C19. :( With the double rebate, I need to decide this weekend or they will be back to being...

    Stromer ST 1 LE vs Specialized Turbo Vado 4.0?

    Thanks....I have been impressed with the motor and weight distribution on the Vado/Como as well. Struggling with preferring the upright nature vs the features of the Vado. Also- concerned about whether the Como will be 'too cruiser' and if the Vado will be 'too forward'. I am probably splitting...

    Any other thoughts/observations? Double rebate ends this weekend so I have to decide ASAP.

    Como vs Vado- HELP!

    Thanks. I think this is probably convincing me to go Como but for some reason I want to talk myself into Vado.

    Stromer ST 1 LE vs Specialized Turbo Vado 4.0?

    Was looking hard at the Vado and Como 4.0s after deciding Stromer was out of my price range when I found a dealer offering a substantial discount on an in stock ST1 Limited Edition. Thoughts?

    Como vs Vado- HELP!

    Did she find the position on the Vado to be slightly more forward or substantially more forward?

    Como vs Vado- HELP!

    I think the diff for me will be comments (like yours above) re the riding position. If it doesn't feel overly forward, I would default to the Vado.
