the ulimtate urban utility bike

[Guitar Heel]

City bikes have a special place in my heart. One of the things that I miss most about my days in the district is my bike commute. This is a really neat project, with some cool results. And the short vids are awesome.

I think I'd vote for the Merge...

What do you think?

I think I would vote for the Denny or the Solid. I like the extra room near the seat post on the Solid, and the low top tube on the Denny for ease of on and off. I think I like the overall look of the Solid better, but like the multiple hand positions on the Denny. Of course the sensible answer then is to get the Solid if I like the frame better, and change out the bar.

But I am too old school and cheap to do any of those things. I would fix up an old bike.

Very slick! I can see only the Portland photos from work, no vid's.
I would prefer a little more nut clearance from the top tube. That bend could hurt.

The brake lever and shifter integration is nice.

Denny all the way.
With that said, none of those seats look very comfortable unless you're a skinny jean wearing hipster.

I think you mean "target audience."
