Re: Help buying a Bike
They're more aimed at the townies that want to bike. I'm sure that shimano has done their research and the transmissions are solid. This is not a new concept; internally geared hubs have been around a long time and companies have been playing around with automatic shifting for years. For the low amintenance crowd, I think it's ideal...all you should have to worry about is lubing the chain.
It's not the way I would go, but I think it's a good idea.

Re: Help buying a Bike
Does your town have any hills? Are you planning on ever doing longer rides or fitness rides?
This is a nice bunch of bikes to choose from : http://citybikes.com/itemlist.cfm?ca...p;catalogId=39

[/ QUOTE ] Good time to buy right now. 2008 models just came in, so go and ask if they have closeouts on the 2007 models. Anyplace selling a 2007 model right now should be discounting it. As it gets closer to 2008 they should be on big discounts. Some stores will have big sales for christmas, but bikes aren't as seasonal as say toys.
