Think it's the 2009 model, local shop, £180, looks new - only the protective sticker on the chain-stay shows any wear. Can't find enough info online to form a proper opinion so could you knowledgeable folk please advise me? I've been riding a 10yr old Raleigh Boulder for the past 3 months or so, knobbly tyres and all - but can make it up the various 14% hills around here now and I'm curious how I'd take to a road bike.
Currently I am really enjoying my 30-mile ride every other day, but my outer fingers get numb however much I change position and if it's colder I get the same thing with my toes - sometimes have to stop and wait for the circulation to return. Perhaps I should mention that I have been pretty sedentary over the last couple of years due to a long illness but I'm 44 and just under 11 stone and feel much fitter already.
So, what do you reckon - should I just buy it and see how it goes or should I shop around a little? Does anyone ride one of these bikes?
