As a sixty something long distance walker, Martial Arts instructor, guitar playing wine drinker. I have recently returned to the world of cycling after a lay off of some ten years. Having given up driving three years ago I decided to purchase a cheapie hybrid to check if I could stay upright.
I found I could so traded up to a Merida hybrid which is great for round town, towpaths and country lanes etc. However, feeling a bit more adventurous, and with some help and advice from my local friendly bike shop I ended up purchasing a 631 touring frame which they built up to my requirments. I have had this for approx. three years now and am quite happy with the bike. The only alteration I have made, are to the bars which I have changed from drops to 'butterfly style', purely because of the comfort issue.
All in all, glad to be back biking and doing up to 50 mile runs.
Best wishes to all
