Before I ventured into folding bikes, I rode a commuter bike.
This is the Allant from Trek. It is the bike company's dutch-style commuter bike with swept-back handlebars, ergonomic grips, cushy saddle, rear rack, 700cc wheels, fenders and kickstand.
I bought mine in early 2009 at ROX for less than P20,000.00. I got size 17.5" which is okay for my 5"6' height.
The frame is made of Alpha White Aluminum. Color is glossy black. I like it because it looks classy.
The fenders match the frame. It protects you from having mud and water splattered on your pants.
Like I said, the handlebars are swept-back for a more upright sitting position. It comes with a bell, but I changed it to cateye brand, which is much better.
I use this bike when going to the grocery or the drugstore. Also use this bike to visit my relatives who live in the nearby subdivisions.
If I could only bring this to the mall and lock it at a bike rack I would. But I'm afraid of leaving it, even if double locked. Baka pag balik ko, wala na.
It's probably why I ventured into folding bikes. At least I could fold the folding bike and bring it with me inside the mall.
I do wish I could use this bike more often because it is a very good bike.
