Hi from co. Durham
I'm about to try my hand at cycling. Not ridden a bike since I was about 12, so round about 27 yrs ago. I'm looking for a Dutch style 3spd but alas can't stretch as far as a pashley lol ! Not having an easy time of it finding a bike for my size - I'm just under 5ft 1" with an inside leg 28". Most of the ones I've seen are huge. Tried a TDB style that I could afford, 19" frame /28" wheels and I couldn't even get up on the seat lol. Tried a pashley princess sovereign that I couldn't afford, 17.5" frame /26" wheels and it was a good fit. Typical !
So, I'm very much a beginner ! Will no doubt be on here asking very daft questions.
