Nigh on impossible to get a Flourish any more, they did seem to run out v quickly...

Ive just been down to Giant and they have both of those in stock . Very well built bikes !

Hmmm this is getting tough . Her LBS is Trotters in York but google seems to be listing it as a giant store . Any one local know ?

 

[vickster]

What's the address? There's a giant store in York. Address on giant site. Should be easy enough to get flourish shipped from twickenham? Think chain not franchise

I was looking to see what her LBS stocked . I don't think she wants the giant as she would be scared to leave it anywhere . The point of the bike is to nip to the shops .
she did make me chuckle when she said it would need two D locks and they would be heavy

You should probably check wicker basket clearance before getting her this one.

Ok ive managed to get here sized up for a giant flourish by persuading her to go to a giant shop for a helmet and between my stepdad and the shop they got her on the bike . The problem now is , she doesn't know if she likes riding that much
I know this is a bike forum but theres no point buying her something she doesn't want .

But she will never know for sure till after a few miles under her belt

That's why she is happy to stick with the second hand one she has for now . She doesn't know I am planning to get it for her birthday and thinks she will be buying it herself so its hard to get any info out of her .
Maybe I should buy her a TT bike in my size
