I just thought I'd update this thread as there are so few reviews of the Invite 2 online. I absolutely love the bike, I'm cycling far more than I thought I would and get grumpy if something stops me getting out at the weekend. I've only really cycled up to 20 miles at a time so far, mainly because I hadn't cycled for years and that is all my backside can cope with at the minute!
I'm so pleased I went for this bike, I love the drop bars (as I did when I was a kid), but equally love that I can head out on mucky tracks as well as roads. The bike feels really responsive, I used to be tentative downhill but am pushing it a bit more each time as I trust the bike (and myself more).
I do still struggle uphill at times, but that's because I hadn't cycled for years and I do live in a hilly area. However, I find I can push through it and am using 'granny gear' less each time I head out.
