Okay, after accepting that I won't be going very far very soon on my MTB nor road bike (boring family-related stuff) I have decided that I'd rather like to trade them both in / up for some kind of 'urban' bike.
Now if I had a spare few thousand, I'd order a Budnitz but I don't.
So anyway, on my wish list is simple, really simple clean lines, hydraulic brakes, singlespeed or Rohloff. Probably all black or black and white. Straight/raised bars (not drops). Basically I want something I can cruise to work on, ride with my kids on and maybe take for some light off-road use (local cycle trails etc)
I've seen a Marin around where I live that ticks most boxes but has a derailleur.
So, is there anything that fits those requirements?
Cheers
Roadrat sounds very like it
Hmmm, quite nice.
Can't see any info anywhere on the spec though - is it a geared hub or singlespeed?
And <£1k so fits the bill....
Hmmm, Charge Plug looks nice....

Vitus dee 29er.
The Specialized Gobe Centrum /San Francisco was the perfect bike for your needs. I bitterly regret selling mine. You can occasionally pick them up on eBay for not a lot. An excellent fun simple bike.
