Have you ever had one of those bikes that, for unexpected and not-so-obvious reasons, gets ridden more than your other bikes? You know, a bike you bought for a specific purpose&#8212;like hauling cargo or locking up outside at work&#8212;that ends up being your go-to bike for other types of riding as well? I bought one [...]]]></description>

The Handsome Cycle Co. Devil (aka the &#8220;Handsome Devil&#8221;) is a steel frameset that draws inspiration from the legendary Bridgestone XO-1 of the 1990&#8217;s. Like the XO, the Handsome Devil is unusually versatile. Its many braze-ons, multiple brake mounts, generous tire clearance, and semi-horizontal dropouts enable it to be built up as a tourer, commuter, [...]]]></description>

Civia was kind enough to loan me a prototype of their new Bryant commuter for a couple of weeks to put it through its paces and share my impressions with EcoVelo readers.

That&#8217;s a nice looking bike. I like the overall balance, gently sloping top tube, clean drivetrain, and tasteful color scheme. This particular bike is a 58cm. The frame and fork are chromoly steel (of course). There&#8217;s no need for a chainguard with a Gates Carbon Drive.

This cool &#8220;lug&#8221; at the base of the headtube serves [...]]]></description>
