Hi GA2G,
I'm hoping to track down some bikes to try this weekend. To be honest, I ride an utter, utter hound at the moment - I'd not cycled for ages and thought I'd first risk London traffic with a £100 Halfords special in case the commute wasn't for me. But it's gone well, so here I am!
Given that, and my un-svelte physique, they'll probably feel aces to me. But are there any lighter bikes at a similar price that you'd recommend? The ones I mentioned seemed like a consensus pick.
Cool, I don't know if I can restrain myself until winter, but it sounds like it might well be worth it.
Thanks again for your help!
