I second Breezer. They are very practical, no frills, transportation-oriented bikes.
I have had two of the Uptown EX bikes. Single chainring in front with an 8 speed cassette. Quill stem, 36 spoke wheels, chromoly frame, and I kid you not, geometry is very similar to a Sam Hillborne, sloping top tube and all. A readily-available poor man's Riv if there ever was one. Less than $500 new with last year's model online under 4.
