Well to recap today's bike hunting; I got to watch my wife oogle over a whole bunch of bikes and get to test ride some. She seems to have her heart set on a bianchi pista via condotti complete. But she's going to sleep on it before she decides tomorrow.
I also have to ask whether you guys have heard of a brand called "Linus bikes" before? They're economical but looked quite nice for the price. Not as close to the beauty of the via condotti nonetheless.
I can't speak to their quality, but Linus bikes seem to be all the rage these days when it comes to casual city bikes. I see them all the time in NYC, and people seem to like them. Again, I have no personal experience, so I can't say with certainty whether they're good bikes, but yeah.
Adeline Adeline, the store in this NYTimes piece about female cyclists carries a lot of Linus Bikes:
