hahahah oh my god
Glad to see you have learned how one should reply to MigQs
I feel like Norco, Marin, Breezer are always worth a look too.
I was gonna suggest Breezer but their whole website is AI slop now and it seems like they’re no longer doing the models that come standard with dynamo lights.
surly preamble is in that price range I guess?
The 2nd gen Norco Search has rear rack zits. The newer gen does not, but you could still use the brake bridge.
I see a lot of pretty cool looking Marin hybrids rolling around.
How cromulent are we talking here?
Ozark Trail GR1? State 4130?
Its so funny that there’s all these new bikes that are basically any old hybrid off marketplace in the suburbs with like the lowest end Ali express eagle drivetrain and bar swap.
There are so many hybrids from the early 00s that are so good, rigid fork, threadless, steel frame, tall stack, fits 700x40 with Fenders and v-brakes, rack mounts, boring geometry, a kickstand plate.
I’ll never do it, but any one of us would be 100% content with a $300 used trek fx and some fancy tires.
I always wanted on of the carpet-fiber FXs.
I coulda shoulda woulda kept my old FX but I realized at some point that it was a size small for me (probably after like 4 years and a couple thousand miles)
sup has a 2016ish alloy scott metrix and it’s a little heavy but a lot of fun
I have complaints
Like where is the integrated bottle opener
So many opportunities for one but ???
Marin Nicasio or Larkspur
Fairdale Weekender or Weekender Nomad
Don’t get a State. Build quality and spec is terrible.
