The R18 Drop bar is a great commuter bike, or great for long rides, and is nimble enough for city riding. Great bike for the price!
This bike is lightweight with classic styling, and just feels great to ride, the Shimano gearing system works well, and the tires grip the road well.
At this time, I am fully satisfied with this bike,
