I wasn't sure if this thread was just for road bikes, but now I've seen hybrids and small-wheelers I'm going to go for it.
While I prefer my road bike I also love riding this Discovery 701 for a change. I have used it with no problems on hilly 40/50 mile trips around the Gower coast and the Brecon Beacons - the gearing is much lower than my Genesis. The only thing that remains from the original is the frame. I built it up from old mtb components and a Specialized carbon fork, had it powder coated and made up decals from the internet.
