I'd easily take the extra weight and supposed lackluster frame quality in real-life city usage.
So would you like to take the extra weight up four or five flights of steps, daily too? Hey listen! Even the Dutch themselves talk about the awful weight of their classic city bikes and how they're forced to lock them up outside, due to the laborious weight factor.
Can you fanthom that, with your supposed panoramic macroscopic comprehensive aptitude?
