I've done various searches on the forums and can't seem to be putting in the right keywords to get the search results I need. Does anyone have any suggestions for a bike with this criteria? I would consider a derailer system if I could get a single cog on the front and then 7 or 8 on the back.....but I want to avoid a 21 speed bike.
Thanks

Here are a couple I have recommended to friends who have expressed satisfaction with their purchases of same or last years model of same;

They have many for sale, including Black Friday specials, but I only pulled the ones I was familiar with which have Chromo frames and IGH drive trains. You may be able to pick better as I am just guessing on what you are in need of.
Note on the side: As with essentially every bike I have ever seen for sale at almost any price point; you would do well to take the bike (or just the wheels) to a wheel specialist with noted talent and pay for a good true and tension prior to using the bike. Just a fact that machine built wheels are the norm and they just seem to not yet be the match of what a good "wheel specialist" can achieve. This can add many years to the life of the wheels.
Hope that helps
