Yes this bike doesn't come with FD.

Perhaps a 'My Bike' with RD...  while note 100% sure, but I think that the frame tubes on RR were of slightly larger dia, than the ones used in MyBike.

Anyway, at 7K, looks like a real VFM buy for people picking up cycling, especially in Bangalore city, given the terrain.

darn... "not" (not "note").

[Banibrata Dutta]

While it might be a personal preference eventually, but some parts of Bangalore present rolling terrain, and having "gears" certainly helps. Shock-absorbers, have been routinely discouraged in this and other cycling forums, for budget/entry-level bicycles, because the entry-level absorbers add unnecessary weight, are not very effective, have missing features that can be used to disable them if necessary, and don't last as long, if used roughly. 

Given that, IMHO -- Kemmel's are a very good entry-level bike, with all that you need to fall in love with cycling.
