already had one, sold it. doesnt take 28mm wheels, isnt steel and the ride is not good

Do they make them from steel? I am not sure the defy is jowwy's style and the 1 certainly won't take a fixed rack nor much choice of mudguards not really a commuter tourer, although my 2012 avail 2 has been doing this for me!

Could
allways get an old grifter comfy and solid steel :-)

i did have a defy vickster, but it just felt and looked like every other bike on the road. just looking for something classy with clean lines if you know what i mean

Indeed, I thought you did.
I chose the 2013 equilibrium 20 as the colour is gorgeous

Condor make some utterly delicious frames too. Can you now use C2W for components and buy the frame separately as cash not a barrier
