Can see a few problems with this bike. You won't Know DG but I'd suggest you get in touch with him - or follow his postings- as he is the expert on white bikes. Then spoke count- Lowspoke count doen't work unless you are thinking of getting into Races- so take advantage of the girls who race here for extra tips. Red rider is one of the regulars- the other one is on holiday in Europe at the world championships trying to prove that she can ride a bit faster than anyone else.

And Bar height- This is a road bike- you are supposed to ride with your head between your knees and learn to look up.

So just a few faults that can corrected---Or you can join the 50+ group and just ride the bike as you like- at any speed you like- and where you like.

And just a tip====== Get a cycling specific top coat for winter use. Make certain it is wnd and rainproof and you will be riding right through the winter.
