Hey Guys im new here ,been eyeing the forum for a while and finally decided to join.
My dream bike would be a Pashley Poppy,but at £450 a piece that certainly isn't cheap.However its worth every penny,but to buy it i just wouldnt be able to be at peace as i would be worried when i leave it that it might get stolen or vandalized.I though about getting insurance ,but then i was just like why not just get a cheaper bike and perhaps work on customising that.
So ive been looking into getting Viking Prelude 2011.The ladies one please see link :
http://www.winstanleysbikes.co.uk/product/40149/Viking_Prelude_Womens_Bike_2011
It's got that traditional look that i adore.I was wondering if anyone has heard about this range of bikes ive been looking for a review.
I guess if the seat isn't comfortable i can just get a brook or is it brooke sprung saddle (which i tried out on a pashley the other day and its so comfy).
Then i wanted to get some cream tyres,but the above bike has 700 x 38 size tyres and the Schwable tyres come in 700 x 35 is that going to be a problem?
And maybe one day i could spray paint it ..or maybe leave it black.
Thank you guys in advance.
