I need to change my child-carrying bike (a Dawes Galaxy built up with porteur bars, etc) as it just isn't working out for me. It's a good bike but something is off with the geometry and it's getting painful, so I am looking to sell it and instead get a 26" wheel frame or complete bike. Ideally I guess I'm looking for an old steel Marin or similar, as they seem like good frames. It'd be good to have a reasonably traditional frame - so not too much of a sloping top tube.
I don't need anything super-light, more something robust and well-built for carrying kids, groceries etc. But it'd be good to make it look good - like a 26" wheel utility / Thorn-like ride.
So... does anyone have anything suitable? I can't afford something super-expensive but equally don't want a beater.
thanks!
