Yes a little, but I haven't got the flyers out yet....I expect more when I get them out into the community.

I shared your ride on the Glasgow Belles FB page.
Sadly I cannot come: that day I have a wedding to attend (another Belle, so could not say no!)
After that I don't think I'll get a day off until after the commonwealth games closing ceremony.
Planning though another visit to the Kelpies, after our CC 4 day island tour.
We could merge your Belles with mine at the Wheel

All adjustments done and I took a very wobbly ride down to the bottom of the hill and around the co-op car park.
Getting back up the hill was a bit easier than on the MTB!

I adjusted the seat post height and tilt and slid it right back on the rails, and wobbled down the road again.
Back up the hill to the gate, where hubby passed me the multi-tool....it was like a relay
Repeat, adjust and ride.
Third time lucky and I hit the sweet spot (time will tell!)

What can I say...the ride is super smooth, super quiet with lovely gear changes....I did wobble a bit but I'll get used to those teeny tyres! The riding position feels a bit strange to me but I know I'll get used to that too.
The brakes were a bit juddery - am I right in thinking this is them bedding in as it's rim brakes?
And there's a warning on the wheel saying something about when the markings show change the rims...I no speak this language! Help!

Just the rear carrier, tubes and a little cycle computer to buy now!
I think I can say I am very pleased with my latest addition

There's nothing to stop you fitting flat bars to make it feel more like the MTB, I'm not a fan of riser bars too sit-up a position.
V brakes need a little toe-in on the pads to stop judder/squeal there was a thread on here earlier this year but I don't know how to do links so you'll have to site search it as someone posted a good piccy of where to put the cardboard fitting packer.

About the brakes:was it sold as all set up and ready to ride straight out of the box?

The wheel rims have a wear indicator, over time braking will make then get a little thinner so the indicators are there as advice on when to replace them. Keep your brake blocks clean to prolong rim life.
