So after the first weeks ownership and 145 miles I am thoroughly impressed with my Tern. The geometry forever changeable is excellent. I put a pair of rear panniers on and went to do the shopping. £40 later from a German supermarket, so thats a lot of shopping! the front end was very light. Simply readjust the handlebars to put more weight over the front. Brilliant. The extra gearing helped get me over some big hills fully loaded without getting out of the saddle and proved to be very smooth changes even under load. The bike has coped with serious off road conditions and while caution has been exercised it has managed magnificently. That and the fact you could use public transport to return, should you bite off more distance than you can cope with. As the previous owner hadn't really used the bike I have spent time tightening all the quick release mechanisms which would fall under basic bicycle maintenance. So Pathfinder will be out on the coast to coast trails very shortly.
