I won't lie, style is a concern of mine, but it is not my reason for purchasing a bike.

I'll be using it mostly for quick 2-3 mile rides to and from work and school. Though, I do hope to do longer rides on occasion.

Thanks! I'll be sure to go check that out!

Hmm, those look nice, though they're a touch out of my range.

Huh, that looks to be an interesting route, but i would have concerns about quality. How has your experience been?
Thank you all for your swift replies, and very helpful comments!
The Kilo/Flite, and the IROs are looking like great choices for my uses. The steamroller is nice, however, a tad out of my price range for now. I could save for a bit longer, but I would like to get a bike in my hands asap. If I have to replace/upgrade parts later on, then so be it.
Kilo seems to be the most popular choice; is there any reason I
shouldn't go with it?
