What is the best City/Commuter Bike for around $800?
I currently have a single speed but need another good bike to get around a hilly city on. Don’t want too many gears or gadgets, just a nice simple efficient road bike with flat bars. Thanks!
I have heard great things about the Trek Portland, though I don’t own one.
I recently converted an old 1988 21 Giant Mountain Bike into a Commuter for exactly the reason you describe. It had the standard 26 x1.95 knobby tires and I took those off and went down to a narrower smooth tread street tire at 26×1.5. Make sure your rims support that size – they should.
Anyway – I’m geared super low for the hills because that’s how they set up MTB’s and I get the advantage of way less rolling resistance.
MTB’s are heavier than road bikes though – but about the same as “hybrids”.
The Trek Ptld though is set up like a road bike but designed for commuting (in theory less maintenance, a bit heavier frame, sockets for accessories like fenders, etc.)
