Hi all,
I'm training for the Prudential 100. I can manage about 35 miles at the minute, but need plenty of rest afterwards, lots of work to go! For those of you who have been accepted onto this, great job and best of luck with your training.
I've had a Pendleton Somerby for around 2 years and I take very good care of her, but I'm starting to think now that my miles are starting to add up that this is not the best choice of bike for an endurance cycle.
Can anybody suggest a bike that might be kinder to me - and less than £300?
For reference I am a 5'2" 120lb female. One of my main problems is that I regrettably went for the 19" frame when I should have committed to the 17". It's just too big and too heavy for me.
...does anybody have a 17" Somerby that they'd like to swap for a 19" ? Ha ha!
Thanks in advance!
Emily
