This is nothing compared to some of the bikes mentioned and shown on here, but I am pretty proud of my Kona Dew Plus I bought recently. Handles great and seems keep on going. I know when my riding skills improve, I will want a proper roadie. But I can still pump this thing without too many problems.
(picture is just an example, will post pics of my actual bike when there is more light)
