What good brands + models would you recommend that are available internationally?
Thank you.
I commute year-round and ride allot on weekends and in my free time. I even completed a century not long ago. I'm on a Trek 7.1FX which costed just under $500. The 7.1 is the lowest available bike in the FX series. And if it's doing this good, it can only get better with 7.2 and 7.3 and up. I'd definitely suggest looking at Trek's FX series bikes.
They're also not too expensive so you won't have to be afraid if you end up locking it up outside sometimes.
