Right, I have in mind what I want from a commuter, basically quiet and virtually maintenance-free, so an Afine, discs, drop-bars. Prefer either steel or carbon frame, space for guards, will probably upgrade to a dynamo hub too.
Would like to use the Bike-To-Work scheme, so needs to be new and under £1k.
Will be for a 20 mile each-way commute, so don't want something too heavy and sluggish.
So, the Cotic Roadrat looked like a good option, but they appear to have stopped offering it in drop-bar.
Charge Plug also sprung to mind, but no hub-gear available.
What are my other options?
Cheers, Rich
genesis day one alfine 8?
Could you get a Pompetamine built for that? Or Kaffenback (think they now have swappable drop outs)
Ah, yes, I forgot to mention that the Pompetamine was an obvious choice, although I'm not sure it could be done through the Bike-to-Work scheme, especially as I don't see it as a complete bike on their website any more.
Good call on the Genesis Day One, thanks 🙂
Any more?
Cheers, Rich
