Cortina Soul 3V ND

Great bike for easy commuting; both lights are powered by the dynamo, and coaster brakes. So overall, low maintenance. Great paint job, a metallic black. Comfort wise, saddle has suspension and the stem sits comfortably high. Some cons: product pictures are lacking and was not aware it is a back pedal rear brake. This definitely makes it more difficult if your commute has a bit of traffic because it is more difficult to ride optimally. Tires are wide wide, makes the bike feel rather heavy, perhaps mid 30's wide tires would make it feel better. Chain ring seems a bit too small as you end up always riding on 3rd gear and 1st gear is almost redundant. For the frame size, you would also expect longer crank links and longer handlebar stem, but they seem rather short (tall people beware). What happens is that it feels like it's inefficient to pedal and taking narrow turns, you end up hitting your thighs because the handlebars are too low.
