is it such a bad buy?

[vickster]

mmm... I'd like that! let's see what the payslip looks like tomorrow... or, if I commit myself to only use the bike for a month, the £140 I spend on rubbish public transport, can be invested on it!

I'd commit to cycling for the month of June not January - not least as you won't need to spend £100 on clothing!

Wimbledon had a Jamis in store (51cm) at £420 (20% off), might be worth a look and a testride if you can find one in your size and convenient - they don't seem to have it on their site for sale for some reason - last few in shops

What would it take for you to be convinced that you are about to buy a pile of junk masquerading as a bike?

Probably not a rude opinion from you.

no need to fight decision is made. thanks to everyone that suggested the triban 3. and fingers crossed they'll have the lonely last white one in stock until next week

IMO, an opinion is only worth giving if it is constructive, rather than rude ans obnoxious....., obviously some others do not think this way

Claudia and I have already discussed this in another thread - so she already knew my views and - unlike you - already had the biggure picture. But thanks for your valuable input. If I ever need advice on etiquette, you'll be first on my list.

Nope. Looked, rode it around the shop and paid for it. Didn't change a thing yet. But I want to take those toe clips off ASAP.

 

[vickster]

I'd change the saddle asap too

 

[Claudia]

Why is that?

 

[Dusty Bin]

I'd change the saddle asap too

you would only need to change the saddle if the current saddle was not comfortable..

 

[vickster]

I have personally never found a man's saddle comfortable for more than about 2 minutes
