Had a little search and couldn't find anything so hopefully the hive mind can help out.
My brother's girlfriend is looking for a new bike. She's very taken with the Temple Cycles Step Through Lightweight and they've asked my opinion on it. Personally I think it's expensive for what it is, exploiting the vintage-a-like wanting market.
I'm not having a huge amount of luck finding something similar but also it's been so long since I've bought a new bike I doubt I'm looking very efficiently as I'm sure there's a large market for similar things. My first thought was to get something from a reputable LBS that deals in second hand framesets and offers builds (Seabass, Parts and Labour?). However there is a strong preference for a new (OTP) bike. So are there any other better options for that kind of thing?
