Miele Verona
Devinci - I didn't see what model. (600$)
do any of you have any thoughts on these brands? which are better, etc?
Thanks so much!
if money is an issue, you can buy a 14 speed touring bike (Dawes Lightning Sport) for much less... it *is* a solid bike but it does have "retro" style stem shifters... but its a solid commuter bike with eyelets for fenders and rack. I got mine about 2 years ago for 240.00 (which included shipping...).
the seller is "chicabike" on ebay...
