The "buy a Milwaukee" is pretty solid advice. Take a nice affordable steel, rim-brake, fat tire road bike, and offer a cheap cantilever post option, and in 15 stock colors. Everybody should have a bike like that in their stable, and that's a pretty great value considering all those options. Too bad it doesn't come in Patrick Moore's objectively perfect size of 60cm c-t-c seat tube and 56cm c-t-c top tube.
