Back when money was tight I usually rode a decent name bike that I bought as a basket case and fixed instead of a department store bike. I had an old steel Raleigh C-30 that I rode many miles. Once I got my second Surly, I let a friend's daughter have it. I have missed that old bike I have been looking at one on marketplace for a while . It looked in very good condition . The bike is in unbelievable condition so I have a Raleigh C-30 again. Even for a 90's catalog and owners manual
I really didn't need another bike
