Giant Escape 3 2016

[ChrisV]

Ha ha I'm straight back on a road bike in August!!!!

I feel I'm going to need two bikes to satisfy the dual requirements of proper cycling and taking my wee girl out on her bike

Why in August?!

Maybe get something like a Carrera Subway for family and utility riding, assuming you can't use the roadbike?

C2W is due for renewal.

 

[vickster]

How will you cycle to work in the meantime?

 

[ChrisV]

I have a car.

I have a car.

Is it the right size though ?

 

[ChrisV]

The boot is smaller than I would like. Wasn't easy getting my golf clubs and trolley in earlier.

FWIW, giant thinks you are definitely an M.

Interesting chart... I've got an Escape but an old one (8 years or so) and I've got the medium which is beginning to feel too stretched out as I get older. I'm just under 5' 6", and a 31.5 inside leg, so just in the small category according to the chart, and I think the next bike I get will be fractionally smaller.

Do you not want to commute by work in the spring?
Or do you have no intention of using a cycle to work purchase to cycle to work

 

[ChrisV]

I'll use the hybrid to commute in the Spring. Worry ye not.

I see your dilemma
