Thanks Nigel the model I was looking at (& have since bought) has the step-through frame as I want my wife to use it as well. That might explain the higher price. Have only had it two days & very pleased so far.
have tried a few bikes and really like this one, a really smooth ride, a tad on the heavy side but I think that goes for most bikes in this range. My local dealer is offering it for £1750 against a sticker price of £1899. Does anyone have any experience of this bike? Thanks, Richard
