My current rain bike is nearing the end of its useful life and I am
looking to this group for recommendations on a replacement. I admit to
being somewhat of a retro roadie so I'd prefer a traditional cro-moly
diamond frame with turned-down handlebars (e.g. not a hybrid with flat
handlebars).
Some the basic needs are:
* eyelets on seat stay and on the fork for both front and rear
fenders and racks,
* 700 x 25c tires,
* triple chainring with 9-spd cassette,
* traditional brake levers on the drops plus the mini-levers on the
top of the handlebars also (I've seen these on a Lemond at Palo Alto
Bicycles and on a Trek at Spin Cycle [Cary, NC] -- very cool).
I'll probably alternate between clipless pedals (for commuting and road
riding) and clipped pedals (for cycle camping).
Any recommendations?
