My basic Kona Dew has racked up about 3000 miles in the last year, not the lightest, comfiest or coolest, but does the job very well.

I was looking at a Whyte Sterling and Cannondale Bad Boy yesterday - nice.

Got a cube hooper Aldine. Love it, but the wheels are heavy and dull

I do like my brother's Revolution Courier Race... 700c wheels, 1x8, tough as old boots, costs nothing to run, and looks like it's worth about 50p. Perfect. Does weigh as much as my 6 inch full suss though.

normal 26" wheeled slot dropout on one inbred with 700cc wheels 😉
porky mind, but very similar in theory to the kona?

I really like the look of Kona's Dew Drop but no one has one in a 50c. Also the Genesis Day 01 is nice but not available in that size. What other drop hybrids are there?

Boardman's hybrid series are pretty great for 2012. Mudguard/rack eyelets, elixirs, apex, e.t.c

I've got a Ridgeback Flite 03, pretty damn good in my book.

Done well over 1500 miles on it so far and it's great!
