I have been loving my hampsten strada bianca (with whisky fork)
really has become my #1 bike for the last month, its fantastic. I know you are on a budget but look around because I got this thing for a crazy good deal (way less than then the all city), great geo, built by IF so you know its some of the best, awesome steel and crazy amazing paint.
the whisky fork is fantastic and imo looks better on this bike then the wound up it came with. And bike fits 35s. who needs discs
