Furai
Many bikes ought to be able to be used on the daily route to work, depending on the surface and traffic situation. For the long straightaways outside the urban areas, a fast bike with a relatively reclined seat position. Inside the urban area, the bike has to be stable at low speed, and you'd rather be closer to the eye-level of the other traffic.
The Furai fulfills these apparently incompatible wishes!
They have chosen 24" wheels so that you sit somewhat higher, but you can still get your feet onto the ground at stoplights and intersections, even if you aren't very tall.
A seat height of 46 cm with a bottom-bracket height of 70 cm makes for a spicy, fast bike. The seat angle of 27 to 33 degrees isn't too extreme for a good view in traffic, and the steering geometry provides a nice, stable ride!
In short, the bike that you won't want to be without for your daily ride to work.
And ... who can forbid you to take it out early on Sunday morning to watch the sun come up over the fields? Or to eat up the kilometers on a multi-day vacation?
