My son has a Windsor The Hour that I got him last August. With a cheap rack and panniers (using garbage bags for waterproofing) he commutes to school. Right now BD has a SALE = $279.95 for them.
Cheap, simple, low maintenance.
The only thing he's complained about is the bar tape is slippery when wet from sweat or rain. Pretty cheap solution for that.
Just noticed a later post by the OP said the guy wants gears. Since this is a FG, please disregard.
