I'm considering an Giant N7
http://www.giant-bicycle.com/uk/030.000.000/030.000.000.asp?model=10295&year=2006&search_text=escape%20n7
and a Ridgeback Rapide Neutron http://www.ridgeback.co.uk/ but I'm afraid
you then have to work your own way through the website.
Anybody got any preference and why?
I'd love a Cannondale but I don't think I can justify the cost. The shop
I'm contemplating dealing with doesn't sell any other bikes with the Nexus
hub gear but I'd go elsewhere for a different make if given a good reason
(I'll accept your definition of a good reason!).
Use of the bike will be for a downhill freewheel of about a mile into the
village and ride back up (it's not steep, just a bit of a drag) with
shopping. Also occasional local rides, mainly on lanes or well maintained
bridle ways. Nothing enormous distance. Very faint possibility of a 10
mile very flat commute but I'll need to build a bit more fitness first!
