Apr 18, 2003 4:30 AM | | My "next door neighbor" in the office rides a single speed/coaster brake Van Dessel to work, and likes it quite a lot. It's pretty basic Aluminum construction, aside from the curved tubes, but seems well put together. Nothing fancy, but a good value for not a lot of $$$.
Looking at the Country Road Bob, I can't help but wonder if that curved downtube would be an easier grab at barrier dismounts! ;-)
Cheers! |
