I bought Jannie a Genesis CDF 20 recently. Great service from Evans, who sent it across to Denmark. Jannie cycles her 10 mile commute every working day, regardless of weather.
The bike was an early, surprise birthday present as I thought the Trek 1200, which she really likes, was getting too old and tatty. It has given plenty of years service.
Jannie went up into the loft yesterday to do some clearing out. "Have you seen this?" she shouted. I went up and saw that under a cover was a brand new Trek Lexa SL which I had fitted with Marathon Plus tyres. It is Jannies size and it took me a while to remember that the Lexa SL was another surprise bike I bought for her a couple of years ago. The reason that she did not use it is because she likes the other Trek.
Since buying the CDF a month or so ago, she has ridden it about 70km and says she is saving it for nice weather.
The moral of the story is do not forget what bikes you have bought and where you have put them. She also found another Trek in the loft in very good condition which she can now use as a winter bike. Our house is only 70 Square metres and the loft is very small. But a bit like the tardis.
Fortunately, Jannie and I take the same size bike. Thats 9 we have in total now.
