I love my little Shetland it still my favorite bike in the stable, but the Citta is a great little commuter. Its really stable and comfy plus I can put regular sized Panniers on it with a rear rack once I get it set up right. Its kind of a funky looking frame, but I think it honestly looks better in person than it does in pictures. I have had many compliments on it from friends who both know some things about bikes and ones that know very little about them. I look forward to when I have time to convert it to dropbars, but I have other projects right now that come first unfortunately.
