Affordable Modern Steel Road bike options
I've decided for my next bike I would like a modern road bike with a steel frame. I really like the ride of my vintage bikes, but miss my brifters and indexed shifting. Don't really want to modify an old bike. My only real qualifications are steel frame, wider tires like 30mm+, endurance geometry, and indexed shifting drivetrain with brifters. I want to start searching the used market for one. Hoping for some suggestions of brand and model that I should be looking for. Thinking like a $500 budget. I've seen some Jamis bikes that seem to meet what I'm looking for, but haven't seen one in my size. I'm hoping there are other brands and models I should be looking for. Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
