All C&V bikes are welcome. Post away!
Realistically though, if you can ride one of those "middle-weights" around my town with 3 speeds, well, you're a far stronger rider than me. I suppose I could load one on the bike rack, drive it downtown, and then tool around the central business district but that's about it. If you're not Lance you'd better have gearing under 35-inches if you intend to get up the hills around here on a heavier bike, more like 20-inches if you're on a 45-lb bike.
