I wanted to try out a Chrage Plug because it is a steel bike, and the road surfaces around South London aren't the best - I was told that steel absorbs the bumps better leading to a smoother cycle.
I didn't buy the shifty bike in the end, I wasn't very happy with the answers I was getting about the bike. For me, alarm bells started ringing when he didn't know the size of the bike.
In terms of getting a proper fitment, I have been into two different Evans Cycles shops, and both of them recommended that I take all three out for a test ride and choose whichever feels most comfortable. The only problem being is that they all felt quite comfortable!
