Question for lady cyclists

[Dallas]

Now wonder you usually lurk. cuk is not for proper advice - its a bear pit.

Anyway I was going to reply along the lines of DaveB's reply. But he got there first. My sister is currently buying a bike to do Lands End->John O'Groats. Needs a ladies bike but this limits the range alot.

Anyway - how is your winter rowing going? Or are you just looking at the eye candy?

Its hard to justify dark lenses (for perving) during winter. The eyecandy is tremendous

But you are a foreigner - "Notherner in London". I think they should all be sent back the other side of Watford.....

Too cold up there for me now and the accent is long gone - budge up shandy drinker

Went to the bike shop today. Have decided that if I do get a place on the London 100 (should hear on Thursday) I'm getting a new bike.

Had a look at the Specialized Dolce - they had two models, the dearer (and nicer colours) being the 'sport'.

comme ça

Specialized Dolce Sport Equipped Triple 2013 Womens Road Bike | Evans Cycles - £765 in my local bike shop. They had 51cm and 57cm - the conclusion being that I'd probably be good on a 54cm.

I liked it a lot.

Have also been looking at this one - a bit dearer but good reduction on it, so feels like I'm getting value for money The downside of this one is that I can't try it - would have to buy it and hope, although wiggle are pretty good and I'm sure they'd take it back if I unpacked it and thought yuck. (And you get free haribo with a wiggle order )

Decisions, decisions...

Oui. Bien sur.

Oui. Bien sur.

People that drop foreign tidbits into conversation usually feel hopelessly inadequate and you know it.

Mr Rimmer used to do it all the time.

Not as inadequate as those who can't spell, n'est ce pas?

Anyway, which bike should I get - Donna or Dolce?

(bizarrely, there's a range of 'wendy' knitting wool called Donna and Dolce)

bizarrely my iPad accepted this as valid spelling and I put my faith in it as since the crash various chips are still damaged and I cannot get replacements until 2079.

I would humbly suggest the Dolce and historically (future historically) have the better name.
