I have two. A green steel Genesis borough hybrid with quality Alex rims and Shimano hydraulic disk brakes for commuting/shopping etc ( got it two years ago before they downgraded the model's rims and brakes), and a hand built m-m lightweight steel from the Italian firm Dedacciai with Campy chorus and Zonda wheels which I've had for about 6 years. Except for tires,all original equipment.It weigh's 18.7 pounds, which ain't bad for steel. The hybrid gives me a nice workout getting it out of the shed, but zim's along very nicely.
