commuter bike recommendations? anyone own or heard of cell bikes?   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #210 of 282 |
Hi guys,
I had the idea to replace my ageing MTB with one of these
fancy-schmancy "urban" "commuter" bike, basically looking for a
simple, lightweight flat-bar bike with hub gears rather than
derailleurs, & don't want to spend more than about $700. Any
recommendations?
i saw Felt's X-City 2
http://www.bicyclestore.com.au/felt-x-city-2.html which is nice but a
bit more than I want to spend, and a bike by Sydney company Cell, SS
101 City

Riding_HybridShimano_ALFINE_internal_8_hub

(sorry for long url)
anyone have any experience with either of these? I'd never heard of
Cell, anyone own one of their bikes or know anything about the
company/quality/reliability etc?
I would appreciate any info anyone can offer
Cheers
Duncan

Hub gears are a good idea I have concluded after dealing with an old 3-speed internal hub that seemed to just keep working. Going with no-name brands, now...
