I have just taken delivery of Rixe Bourdeau this morning (previous bike was Giant Lafree lite for four years) - from my local bike shop Vita Electric. Very similar to Agattu I think but with 8 gears not 7. I ordered a 57cm frame and I am 5ft 11inches which is a good choice but seat is at lowest setting.
I converted it this afternoon to 18t from 23t rear sprocket. I am pretty impressed so far with how quiet and smooth it is compared to the Lafree. I took it up Highgate West Hill as a bit of a test and still had one gear to spare on steepest part. Thanks to advice on the forum that helped with the choice of bike.
