I've just been to Manchester to order one of these
<http://preview.tinyurl.com/3ac79d> and should be able to pick it up on
Tuesday.

Small had so much fun cycling while on holiday (her Eddington Number is
now 3, which can't be bad for someone who only started cycling without
stabilisers in June) that we've decided I need something I can take off
road and with which I can use the Trailgator if necessary. Also, it
should be a lot less attractive to the casual thief than the Ribble.

Cheers,
Luke

coo should be fun, have rather thought that for most of what i do with
my old MTB a hub gear would be great, though i'd probably suffer if i
took back to nr my folks place as hills up often get into 30% and higher
range.

Just had to have a look, but what's that in the blurb :

a.. Tektro V-brakes are the best Shimano copies we've had the pleasure to
use. Amazing to see this quality of brake on a sub-£200 bike.

The price seems to be £349.00 !

Well, I happened to be in Manchester for the Doctor Who exhibition today
(cue Small shouting 'Ex-blur-min-ate' inside a cut away robot for
minutes on end and a lot of statue avoidance) and, as Kate wanted a new
saddle, we strolled over to Edinburgh who happened to have my new
pootleabout already.

Today's trip to Sainsbury's was significantly more pleasant than it had
ever been on my old Raleigh and the suspension, which I had swiftly set
to sturdy, appeared to do its job rather well. On first impressions, I
would recommend a Revolution Pathfinder Nexus to anyone looking for a
reasonable cheap Dutch style town bike.

Small, by the way, completed her first five mile ride (from Dunsop
Bridge to nowhere and back) yesterday. It would have been further but,
in my haste to give the Raleigh a good send off, I had forgotten to
check that the brakes actually work. Consequently, we turned round at
the first sign of anything looking like a hill.

Cheers,
Luke

yup looks a nice, bike and suspention does take the worse out of lumps
and bumps.

it's a lot lighter than the hybrid i have but then mine was a fair bit
cheaper. and for that sort of bike suspention does help.
