So I had been on this site a few time over the years asking about commuter bike stuff. I ended up with a modified Revolution Streetfinder (2009 spec) bought new and now probably in a river thanks to some scrote. I liked it because it was a short reach to the bars and upright slightly forward leaning position but with fast 700c wheels and rapid fire shifters. I really dislike a long reach to the bars and to be honest I think the new A Head steerers both look ungainly (3 bolts instead of 1 is an improvement?) and are difficult to adjust for perfect upright position but I suppose quill stems are old hat now? (Even though they are superior for 95% of the population who aren't downhill MTBers!). Any ideas on bikes? I was thinking Specialised Sirrus, Ridgeback Meteor, or maybe a Decathlon commuter thing... Not sat on any yet though. Weight not a big deal, just prefer a shorter top tube and rapid fire not not twist grips. Cheers!
