Has anyone tried the Giant CRX city?

Yep. Approx 18 months and 12,000km later i give it the 'House of Dutchie' Nod

It aint sexy (but_it_is_black :rolleyes: )
It's a 'Gheee-Aunt' (litle known rare pedigree italian bike. Not)

But, it's just so damn practical.

I think this bike represents when 'utility' biking (at least in Melb?)
'Jumped the shark'.
Finally an off the rack REAL commuter. I added racks/panniers/guards
(note the 08 model offers these as an option!) and dynamo hub/light combo, cut down bar width and SHAZAAM! The Poifect commuta!!!

I believe the current models have the Alfine Hub (even better than my Nexus red-stripe model).

Personally i would love this bike to have disk brakes, at least at the 'business-end' (front). My rims are starting to go concave marginally, which reminds me. a 24 spoke rear wheel is not a good commuter make. especially for us 'typical_ozzie_blokes' who are 80+kg.
