I got a 20" Semcycle about a month ago and I agree it feels really
solid. Certainly better than my Pashley 24" (but then it was 3 times
the price).

I was told it'll last me a lifetime. I guess there are two ways of
looking at that :-)

Oh, you can be cruel. We British dream of such prices. I paid 170
pounds ($250?) for mine...
