Morning one and all hope you are keeping well.

So because frankly im blinking useless when it comes to making up my mind I decided to start another thread. I had a thread I started on Bromptons but I think thats run its course now. I recently sold my Kona Sutra which was a hell of a bike but actually really over the top for what I was using it for. So what was I using it for, well you did ask smile

My commute is 8mls where about 2/3rd is B roads and country lanes and the remainder is town riding. Its mostly flat with a little bit of undulation.
Bikewise I want something with a flat bar and the potential to carry a bag or bags. Most importantly I want something different with a sub 1.5k budget. Without meaning to sound pompous im pretty bored with the general hybrid offerings. I used to commute all year round but now I avoid ice & snow and the dark winter nights. But I also like to go for a ride just for the pleasure of being on a bike and enjoying the scenery.
So as always would love to read your thoughts & comments and thanks in advance for bothering.

I guess this is what I would call something with character.

What about a Genesis Smithfield, or Croix de Fer flat bar?
