[Bonefish Blues]

Mango bikes have the answer, perhaps?

I used to ride my bike for a pharmacist, I earned £1 per hour plus tips.

I had to deliver prescriptions all over Cowplain, to the elderly & infirm, and to nursing homes.

Morphine, bandages, Radian B, various other tablets all ended up in my panniers.

The key criteria were large panniers and good tyres. HTH

Crikey, who knew Fernando Alonso fiddled with models as a hobby?

Decathlon have a good range of cycles and you can at least try them "inside" the shop.
I believe they are generally considered good value.

- and I'm still not at all clear what the OP means by "thin pipes and curly handlebars". Perhaps dbeattie could enlighten us?

I think she meant steel tubes and I'm not sure about the curly handlebars, maybe drops.

Favourite so far is the mixte frame idea set up as a town bike with a rear pannier, mudguards, 1x7 speed indexed gear, factory wheels and 28mm marathon tyres. I think Neil at Common Wheel could come up with something nice based on a Raleigh Wisp frame he showed me today. I'll post a photo when it's done. Thanks everyone for some brilliant suggestions and fun stuff.

Thats her choice is it?

That's not as simple a question as it might appear to be. I mean do people actually choose to do things or are they really reacting to what happened before? Are the reasons people give for their choices true or are they stories that are made up to suit the decisions they just made? Does free will exist or is it an illusion?

I think it's pretty obvious that the "female 20s pharmacist" is actually one of dbeatties alter egos. This bike is for dbeattie..!

Choice is always restricted if you ask for advice!

When we went to St John Street for a bike for my wife, the one we came away with was a far smaller frame than we had been using previously, but was the most comfortable that she has ever had

No, there's no faffing about like blokes. We just go out and buy something

that's just plain crazy talk

We were in a shop waiting to be served

A couple were discussing a rather nice Carbon racer, and the specs were being covered on detail, however there was no sale ................ it was not available in Blue

That's not far from the truth. I did imagine to myself what it might be like to be a female pharmacist in her 20's and I imagined what bike I would like. Though they say if you walk a mile in someone else's shoes you'll be a mile away and you've got their shoes.
