I am trying to compile a list of "urban" bicycles to choose from. This bikes should be tough, light, and durable, yet faster and more suited for commuting than MTBs.
Here are a few requirements:
-Fully rigid (no suspension)
-26" wheels (rather than 700c wheels of more road-like hybrids)
-Tires somewhere between slick and knobby, made primarily for road use but knobby enough to grip gravel and dirt
-Decent components ($300-$800 price range)
Any help coming up with more models is greatly appreciated!
I'll start the list:
Trek SU-100, SU-200
Marin Muirwoods, Novato
Novara Buzz
