Great point. I think that's the hidden drawback with buying cheapo and/or
used bikes that budget-bike buyers maybe do not anticipate. All bikes need
some degree of maintenance but the crappy ones sometimes are not adjustable
when the time comes. They work until they stop working and then that's
Me, too! I had a red U-frame Breezer Uptown 8. Fully loaded: dynamo lights
front+rear, IGH, chain guard, super-beefy rack+rat-trap, fenders. Even
comes with a kickstand! All for $1,000.
That bike rode fast. I don't think I was fast, but it brought the weee!
back into bicycle riding for me, and
Here's some cheapo sacrilege for you.

A Public mixte was all I could talk my wife into getting for her biking
needs. She doesn't ride much and wouldn't let me spend any more than a
Public during one of their sales. It is reasonably sturdy and serves her
needs just fine. I would suspect that Brooklyn Bikes may have better
for my daughter's first bike, bought her the Cafe Express 8 from there.
The Nexus hub was an introduction to anticipating shifting for her on our
hills. It will remain a good utility bike for her - good enough for her to
take to college and not worry too much over.

Any consensus here on Public Bikes? They are super cheap at under $500. My
wife has their step through which she uses for around town stuff, and for
the price and her occasional use I think its perfect. I kind of thought
about their single speed diamond frame for an around town bike before
Before I drank the Riv kool aid, I used to ride a Breezer Uptown 8. The
only thing that made it better was adding an albatross bar. :)
They are really good commuter bikes for the price and come with a lot of
features. And they're a great low maintenance bike. The frames are made out
of aluminum,
Public Bikes litter the San Francisco Bay Area like Camrys, and look quite
practical and lovely, IMO. They're not Rivs, and I presume the frames are
welded together in China. To each his own on* that* debate.

Indeed.. SO many new offerings out there (it's tempting)... The Rivendell
influence seems apparent in these designs. I have a Handsome XOXO frameset
still-in-the-box holding out in my attic *(waiting to catch me in a moment
of weakness... I feel I may succumb soon...).*
And let's not forget
I always think of Breezer

I think of sensible, entry level bikes for uner $1000.
And several come with dynamos!

I don't know the Transition Bikes but I almost bought a Handsome Devil when
I bought my Riv. They were really nice bikes. Good geometry. I spoke
with one of the owners of the company and he said that they grew up working
in a bike shop that sold (and idolized) Bridgestones. They base much

I live in a duplex and the lady who lives downstairs bought one of the
Remus single-speeds. Chrome moly (4130) , quite light, decent generic
components. Perfect city commuter because it is flat...although windy. I

I bought a Handsome Devil Frameset back in 2009 that I built up, when I
couldn't afford a Riv, and it has been a great Steed in the last 6 years.
One thing I love about it is that's so versatile; its been a triple a
double and now a 1x9 and it has room for up to 700x50 tires - I am running
I second Breezer. They are very practical, no frills,
transportation-oriented bikes.
I have had two of the Uptown EX bikes. Single chainring in front with an 8
speed cassette. Quill stem, 36 spoke wheels, chromoly frame, and I kid you
not, geometry is very similar to a Sam Hillborne,
