My new commuter. It had to have disck brakes and be made of steel and obviously have 700 wheels.
So I have managed to narrow it down to 2.
Kona Rove CX.
Pro : It’s a kona, I can get it at the LBS, its green and it might be better f I want to use it as a road bike.
Con : It is not available frame only yet, it is a road bike so putting brakes on the drop is going to be tricky and its a drop bar.
Cotic road rat.
Pro : It’s going to be very easy to put brakes and shifter and it might make me feel more “at home” plus it might take bigger wheels.
Con : not available at LBS, might be a bit of a pig and I am not sure of the handling. Plus I don’t work in IT any more so not sure a cotic is acceptable 😉
