I would strongly advise against this purchase at this time. While I am familiar with the quality of the Steelwools, I am not in the least familiar with this brand at all. Since they're based in London, I wouldn't bank on customer service being that great.

I would think that the Giant Via 3 and the Steelwool Tweed would be more to your economical and cerebral advantage.


The Giant Via 3

* When you view the specifications of most bicycle catalogues, there is some mention of frame material. Most bicycle manufacturers are delighted to announce that their bicycles are made of chromoly steel. When bicycles are not made of chromoly steel, then some manufacturers who overcharge, omit this fact. They instead, charge chromoly steel prices for hi tensile steel bicycles.

Let's just stick with the Giant Via and the Tweed.
