If you are looking for a very stylish yet sporty-looking bike, the germans have what you are looking for. They go by the name "Urban 8" and "Urban 26" and they are the coolest things on two wheels that you can ride in the city without wearing a helmet.
The Urban 8 looks like a fixie, but don't be fooled. It's got a Shimano Alfine hub with 8 internal gears, so even if it doesn't have a cassete, it will still be able to take you up and down a hill. It also has a state of the art, silent belt drive system.
It's smaller brother is called Urban 26 and as the name implies it sits on 26" wheels. Unlike the Urban 8 it's got a Shimano Deore drivetrain with 27 speeds, and has beefier tires, the choice being the 50-559 Schwalbe Kojak's.
The price you have to pay for these sleek tarmac riders is $1.500 and $1.200. More about the specs you can find on the Focus bikes website.
