What bike.....should I be buying??

Hills....hills??? I don't cycle up hills......my idea of a large hill is probably a 20 degree incline!! strictly slopes for me. I'm also wayyyyyy to chicken to cycle in Bristol centre or on any major roads. So no, I didnt lol

Although I am still not fully decided - i also like the Trek bike I found at £450. arghhhhhhhhhhh.....damn bikes! Last time i had this decision I was riding my mums Triumph Record (3 gears) and desperate for a Raleigh Lizard lol

and the Raleigh Banana was en vogue!

Just buy the one that appeals most aesthetically assuming they feel the same to ride

If you go to Evans you can take the bike out of the shop, walk along the pavement towards the Hippodrome, and when you get to the centre where all the fountains are, you can ride your bike there. The bit by the harbour is the busier end, it's pretty quiet at the Evans end. And then depending on how long a test ride you could head to the docks. If you wanted to try some slopes nearby I can probably suggest in the area behind the council house, it is road but pretty quiet.

Arghhhhhh. That is all.

If it helps, (it won't) I've wanted a new bike for ages but can't make my mind up!

hahahha you're right. it doesn't. The Pinnacle only has 8 gears which wont be much use, so back to the drawing board!!!!
