For that kind of money I'd really prefer a shimano groupset.... Isn't this the wrong forum for non-floaty things GRF? ------------- |

It's the banter bit, Shimano is so last century, Sram rules these days.. ------------- https://www.ease-distribution.com/" rel="nofollow - https://www.ease-distribution.com/ |

The sort of bloke you'd see riding that would be decked out in all the latest from Aldi & Liddl, probably wearing some giveaway bit of rooster GP14 finery, with some Peter Storm half finger sailing gloves and those warm in water socks wedged into sandals from TKMax.. The first hill he came to he'd get off and push, uphill or down... ------------- https://www.ease-distribution.com/" rel="nofollow - https://www.ease-distribution.com/ |

the transition's £3k of bike that'd be wasted on me... as were those Pronghorn jobbies he was flogging the other week.
I think I'll stick to his Electra range in the future:

| those Electra bikes crack me up, who buys them? the concept is cool when you make your own cruiser in your garage and pedal along the <californian/floridian/carribean> 'prom' ... but a factory made bike in dampest eastern englandshire? |

with the luggage trays/panier racks they'd actually be pretty damn ideal soemwhere like Cambridge. low speed cruisers make for good town bikes for going shopping etc, especially somewhere flat. My high seat/drop handlebar bike is fine for high speed commuting, but isn't so great in town. ------------- -_ Al |
