Well neither are really porteur bikes. Maybe they should be, but my guess is that the front rack is just a decoration for most of the buyers.


Sadly, yet another bike that looks like in the "womens" version, but the mens falls short. Oh well. The market wants huge top tube clearances, the manufacturers want a limited number of sizes (often just one in these kinds of bikes), and threadless stems prevent frames from being designed the way they used to be, meaning you end up with a really high-set head tube. Personally, I think they'd be better to put a threaded headset on it.
