What the difference

[Daisychaingirl]

I know Jonny it is a good bike, it's just not a pretty bike, and vickster is so right, the pendelton would end up staying in the shed if I can't ride it :-)

Just so you know ( i thought someone should tell you) vickster is actually Victoria Pendleton (in real life) hence my pulling her leg, so her recommending the trek is pretty generous advice.

Ride that Trek with pride and tell your mates that Ms Pendleton herself recommended it to you.
@vickster will love that.

Very happy that you are enjoying the new trek, well done for cracking on an buying her.

There's a deal on in halfords at the moment, when you buy a Pendleton you get a half price basket - ask them if they'll honour it, you never know I hear they can be pretty helpful when the mood takes them.
I actually had a go on a Pendleton last week and was really surprised how nice it felt, although I found the bar position a bit weird at first. For a slow cycle across town it would be a lovely bike, but I wouldn't fancy taking it up a hill!
For ladies considering the subway I'd say look at giant escapes instead.
