- On my bike in the smoke!!!!!!!!!!
I have been commuting on my bike for almost two years now, all the way through the winter as well, doing 12 hour shifts (including nights). I started on my old steel frame racer that I thought I would re-build. I have learnt a lot about how bikes work I must admit! However I was still having problems with it in July and as the car has gone to the scrap yard (and has'nt been replaced) I thought to my self I must have areliable bike for commuting.
So I rushed on to the internet and within a couple of hours had spent as little as (I thought) possible on a new commuter.
A Dawes Giro200 2008 model.
It was'nt until I actualy rode the bike that I realised that I am not going to get any after sale service and that there are one or two points about the bike that I aint too keen on!
It was all driven by my lack of budget, around £200.00.
Could I have done any better had I shopped around?
Oh and by the way this is my first thread on here up till now I have been content with laughing at everyone elses hilarious comments.
