I've been looking at them recently as I'm looking for something to tool around on and ride casually with my wife (who is no roadie). I've seen a few threads where they get a really bad rap, but I'm wondering if they're really all that bad? I like the price point the most, and the look. I think they look good with their color schemes and deep dish wheels (which I'll assume are probably boat anchors). I plan to throw some bull horn bars on it and thats about it. I surely won't be racing on it, and I won't pretend I'm some type of hipster. I've looked at some BD bikes, but they don't have the same style at that price range. Are there any other good alternatives around that $300 point? I already have two road bikes, so this would just be a toy to mess around with.
