Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaand sold. 26" commuting just didn't fit for me that much...
Let's try another one, eh? But this time a different kind of bike.
So I've bought a Kästle trekking. Tange CroMo frame, full Altus C50 (3x6 spd), so it's much lower end, but it works surprisingly well. The shifting is fast and accurate, and the whole bike is just great. It's comfy and functional. Mudguards, rack, etc. came installed with it.
Pic once the weather gets better, atm it's raining like hell and it's just too dark to take a proper picture.
Now the plan is a drop bar tourer/commuter, but that'll probably only happen next year. I've already got the drop bars and brake levers, all I need is a stem, some shift levers and new, wider tyres. Budget is tight right now though...
