When it works, it's a very nice bike to ride. Very quiet and smooth and has a feel of quality. Comes ready-fitted with panner shelf which is really useful.
Unfortunately I've had to replace a buckled wheel and the so-called puncture-resistant tyres were useless. I had more punctures on this bike than on my previous cheap-as-chips Apollo bike.
Maybe I've just been unlucky.
I get lots of people saying what a good-looking bike it is and it is indeed a smart bike.
Beware though...it's a bit heavy if you plan on carrying it up stairs.
The bike's claim to fame is that it carried me from Birmingham to London alongside the Grand Union Canal recently!!
