Haven't quite got the hang of this valentine's day mallarky...

So after several weeks of being exhorted to "buy something special for the one you love", I'm about to pull the trigger on buying one of these for my commute.

Mrs S gets a card and a nice box of choccies , and I get a new bike..

What could possibly go wrong?

I'm glad it's got tyres that are "road-ready" and "road-going", wouldn't want any of those pesky tyres that are not ready for the road.

I might pop up the road and slip something through Miss Goodbody's letterbox.

Yes. That's what swung me to a Merlin bike rather than, say, a Cannondale, as Cannondale didn't state whether their tyres were "road ready" or not. I think they're missing a marketing trick here.

It's a nice bike tho, and a decent price. I had to forced myself away from the page...

It's also competing with Black and Decker's workshop wares - 'Your new workmate'

What a versatile bike!
