Commuter/urban/light trail use
Singlespeed, not fixed
Two brakes
29"/700c or 26" wheels
Steel frame preferred
Steel rigid fork
V-brakes preferred, disc OK
Straight or riser bars, maybe bullhorns
Able to take fairly wide tires, 700 X 35 or 26 X 1.5+
No deep V nonsense
No eccentric BB nonsense
No carbon fiber anything
Flipflop hub not necessary
Subtle paint and graphics
$850 max budget
I want this bike to be a no-nonsense, grab 'n go daily rider. I won't be pampering it, but I do take good care of my equipment. I place a high value on durability and low-maintenance.
I probably don't want to build up a frame and fork, but I'd be willing to in order to get what I want.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions/links/pics, etc.
