I know that's not your bike, but the grips are on backwards. I can't see how that can possibly be comfortable, nor can I see how someone could possibly make that mistake. Ergon grips, when held in the correct way, fit your hands perfectly. I know it's a nice bike, and I know I'll get blasted for this, but I nominate that setup for the Jackass thread.



Back on topic, I'd size up one size from your normal road bike size for a townie of similar geometry (ie, townie setup on a road frame). That's to compensate for the shortened reach swept bars typically yield. However, also mind standover, because on a city bike you're more likely to be on and off the bike more often.
