Pearson Touche or Genesis Flyer.
Been to see both these bikes, and they're both nice. The Pearson i like cos it's a little more different, and because it's light, but with the carbon seatpost and decent tyres, it comes out at 590-600 quid. quite a lot. it's been very well reviewed, though. The frame is beautifully made, it really is.
Is the spec really up to that price, i'm wondering? opinions welcome.
The Flyer -i think i prefer the ride of the steel frame, and it feels good to me, it;s a nice bike. But, you know, it's yet another Flyer. However, i can get it for 432 quid delivered, so quite a price difference.
So, Hippy et al, do you think the Pearson is worth the extra 150 or so quid?
